{The Democratic letter signers, however, are benefitting from the backing of the pharmaceutical industry. On average, the signers received $93,275 from the OpenSecrets-defined pharmaceutical/health products industry in the 2020 election cycle, according to Sludge’s analysis, far more than the average for House Democrats during that period of $37,788.}

Ramp up the speak to get a vote while corporations ramp up the briberies. Paying the politicians here is cheaper than giving us the same prices other countries receive.
