While @PhrMA wants you to think companies raise #drugprices to fund R&D, our investigation revealed that drug companies raise prices to:

💰 Turbocharge sales
💰 Keep their stock price growing

Here’s an internal company document admitting they raise prices to fuel “growth”:
Worse still, drug companies spend far more to reward shareholders than on innovative R&D.

NEW: Chair @CongressmanRaja sent a letter to @US_FDA Acting Commissioner @DrWoodcockFDA applauding FDA’s decision to bar the sale of certain flavored e-cigarette products and expressing concern over its decision to distinguish menthol from the other kid-friendly flavors.
FDA’s decision to distinguish menthol from other kid-friendly flavors is a stark contrast to Dr. Woodcock’s congressional testimony.
On June 23, 2021, @DrWoodcockFDA testified before the Subcommittee that menthol in e-cigarettes is:

🔘 “like having a higher concentration of nicotine in your delivery system,”
🔘 “heightens the addictiveness of nicotine in e-cigarettes,”
🔘 “makes it harder to stop vaping.”
