Pharma Rewards Democrat in Cash Following His Opposition of Pelosi’s Drug Pricing Bill

July 26, 2021

Representative Scott Peters was rewarded with large sums of cash donations to his campaign by pharma and lobbyists the day after he opposed House Speaker Pelosi’s bill on drug pricing. He was joined by several other Democrats who spoke out against allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices with drug manufacturers.

“Peters, a California Democrat, made waves in early May when he co-led a letter with nine other moderate Democrats taking a stand against the part of Pelosi’s painstakingly crafted drug pricing bill that would allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices — especially because Peters voted for the same bill in 2019 and 2020.” Read more here.
