Price of a drug to treat opioid overdose rose from $690 in '14 to $4500 currently per dose.
A list of senators wrote a letter to ask why this happened.
Here is a list of those senators:
Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Christopher Murphy (D-Conn.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Angus King (I-Maine), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Tim Kaine (D-Va), Mark Warner, (D-Va.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), and Cory Booker (D-NJ).
Notice something? (And yes, that corny twofaced shill booker is in there as well.)
