These Senators Received The Biggest Checks From CVS, Humana And Other Drug Middlemen Testifying Tues
When executives from five of the country’s biggest pharmacy benefit managers testify before the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday, they’ll be staring down a group of senators who have benefited from their businesses. Political action committees for the companies have donated nearly $1 million to the senators’ campaign committees over the past 10 years, according to a Forbes analysis of Federal Election Commission filings.
The recipients spanned the political spectrum. Only one of the 28 senators on the committee, Maria Cantwell (D-Washington), has never accepted money from the companies’ PACs. In 2012, however, her joint fundraising committee, Cantwell Victory 2012, took in $1,000 from Cigna, one of the companies set to testify Tuesday.
In addition, some of the senators have received personal donations from the executives themselves. Derica Rice, who’s now president of Caremark, CVS Health’s PBM division, contributed $1,000 to the campaign committees of Michael Bennet (D-Colorado), Mark Warner (D-Virginia) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio)—plus $2,250 to the campaign of Todd Young (R-Indiana) between 2014 and 2016, when Rice worked at Eli Lilly.
John Prince, CEO of United Healthcare’s Optum, donated $2,500 in 2015 to the campaign committee of Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania). Steve Miller, executive vice president and chief clinical officer of Cigna, has contributed $1,000 to the campaign committees of Toomey and Wyden. The other two executives testifying, Prime Therapeutics interim CEO Mike Kolar and Humana healthcare services president William Fleming have donated only to their companies’ PACs since 2009.
Shameful behavior!

If I have to explain it now, NOW, then we truly arent going to survive.
Thanks for your response. 
It is not a Democrat or a Republican issue!
They are in on this whole scam together as those screaming Medicare for All go on being unheard!
Well, now you know why! Money talks! Oh yeah!
Until they resolve the issue at large, nothing will ever change if their beds are lined with drug company dollars!
NOTHING!
