Neither our witnesses nor the Republican chairman of our subcommittee could answer a question about the secret deals that drug companies have made with the White House.
How do we know if they are saving anyone money if we don't know what the deals are?

Under the guise of "investigating Medicaid fraud," the Trump Admin has given ICE agents free rein to terrorize our communities & execute Americans in broad daylight.
They're simultaneously stripping healthcare from millions, all to give tax breaks for billionaires.

More than a year in, Trump’s Day One promise to lower costs is still just a campaign promise.
During his first year, people spent over $1,600 more across the country.
