And by "tricks" we mean.........not GOOD ones.
A notoriously out-of-touch Swamp Pubbie (and friend of Paul Ryan!!) will be heading up the drug industry's lobbying group, PhRMA. That would be Eric Cantor. It is apparent that the Drug Boyzzz expect to get happy in '28. That is to say, RFKjr out. We'll see.
More interesting is this part of the essay:
...As someone who worked on Capitol Hill during the debate on Obamacare in 2009-2010, I recall that the head of PhRMA at the time was another former Republican member of Congress: Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-La., who had served as chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, with jurisdiction over most health care programs.
While working as PhRMA head, Tauzin played a key role in helping get Obamacare enacted. His organization and the pharmaceutical sector became the first to make a “backroom deal” with Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., then the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and the Obama administration in support of Obamacare....
Of course, that "backroom deal" shows us how much of a lying sack of shit Obama really was....
... But all the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing also went directly against Barack Obama’s promise that all the health care negotiations would be televised on C-SPAN, as he pledged repeatedly during his 2008 campaign...
ObamaCare--as we now know--is the single largest driver behind out-of-control healthcare costs.
Not bad for a bastard from Kenya, eh?
