Alex Azar’s job hop from drugmaker Eli Lilly to the Trump administration reflects ever-deepening ties between the pharmaceutical industry and the federal government.

A Kaiser Health News analysis shows that hundreds of people have glided through the “revolving door” that connects the drug industry to Capitol Hill and to the Department of Health and Human Services.

Azar was confirmed Wednesday as HHS secretary, joining other former drug industry alumni in top positions.

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

We seriously need to deal with big pharma by allowing for lower drug prices in the future! You know, like Obama promised back in 2008 before he got in bed with them? :/

How do you think those prices got so high?

Look at the depth of penetration PhRMA has through ex employees into their Federal Regulators.

10 years between PhRMA Employment and Fed Employment in the Health Sec. Complete divestiture of all monetary holdings, stocks, options, whatever. No Lobbying connections for 10 years.

Not just the drug co worker but their entire family.

The President of the United States can't be profiting from his Office. He has to divest.

Why the hell doesn't the same apply to ex drug co. workers?
