According to the latest data from the Federal Election Commission released on Monday, September 12, 2016 (here<\/a>), Hilary Clinton has received more than $990,000 in funds from the healthcare\/pharma industry although the industry has donated nearly 50% more money to Republican presidential candidates than to Democratic candidates.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nApparently, Trump doesn’t need no stinkin’ money from pharma, which only gave him about $95K. Does that mean that Trump will come out swinging harder at pharma during tonight’s presidential debate than will Clinton?<\/p>\n

<\/a>STATnews has posted a series of questions that the debate moderator should ask the candidates (see here<\/a>). One involves drug prices:<\/p>\n

“You two share one thing when it comes to soaring drugs costs and price-gouging executives: You rail against both, but continue to take donations from Big Pharma (especially you, Mrs. Clinton).”<\/p>\n

“Will you pledge tonight to give back those contributions? Will you put a concrete limit on annual price increases? What about executive salaries?”<\/p>\n

Trump will have the advantage only a billionaire can have: Not having to explain how large donations from pharma will keep him from supporting drug price reforms and answering the first part of the question thusly: “Yes, sure. I don’t need their money.”<\/p>\n

But as a businessman and capitalist (and Republican) he cannot support increased regulation of the industry unless he appeases the audience and reneges on his promises if and when elected president.<\/p>\n

What should Clinton’s reply be?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
