GOP blocking investigation into high drug prices
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...blocking-investigation-into-high-drug-prices/

“Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are chastising Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) for rebuffing their efforts to investigate price hikes by two pharmaceutical companies.

"My constituents are dying," Ranking Member Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) said at a news conference Wednesday morning. "They are dying because they cannot get a cure."………

And folks still believe the GOP is watching out for the interests of the average worker……..

Bastion for the Middle Class my bippie they are……..NOT

How DARE the Dems investigate such trivial matters when there's only been eight different investigations into Benghazi and sixty-odd attempts to get rid of Obamacare!!!!!
 
What government function is Cummings trying to oversee here? The price of private good/service X, even if "access to" X is funded by tax money, is not government oversight. What is next - a probe into the high cost of fresh asparagus?

Our solemn responsibility is to hold government accountable to taxpayers, because taxpayers have a right to know what they get from their government.
