    PhRMA lobbying to increase the price of life-saving prescription drugs for seniors in a bill to help address the opioid epidemic is a perfect example of what is wrong with Washington D.C.

    On behalf of our 38 million members, we strongly urge Congress to stand up to PhRMA and reject any attempts to reverse the Part D donut hole deal. Any change to the current law will simply be a windfall for the pharmaceutical industry that will only raise seniors’ drug costs.

    Trump's former chief economic advisor Gary Cohn seems to have a bit of amnesia. He recently asked the question, "What laws were broken?" when asked about the big banks who crashed our economy in 2008. Let's refresh his memory:
