“The simple truth is, two wrongs don't make a right. And the short-sighted healthcare deal PhRMA struck with the Obama administration at your urging provides confirmation of this time-tested maxim on an epic and tragic scale. The ‘bully' in this case is Big Government. At your behest, PhRMA has chosen to accommodate a Washington takeover of healthcare at the expense of the American people in hopes of securing favorable treatment and future profits. It's a short-sighted bargain that leaves your own customers and employees behind. And it now has all the markings of a deal gone sour.”
—House Republican Leader John Boehner in a letter to Billy Tauzin, president and CEO of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America.
