big PHARMA

The first paragraph was excerpted from a Huffington Post column.

"Non-interference" is the industry term for the status quo, in which government-driven price negotiations are barred. In other words, the government is "interfering" in the market if it negotiates lower prices.
The ban on negotiating was led through Congress in 2003 by then-Rep. Billy Tauzin (R-La.), who is now the head of PhRMA.

Situations like this where the politician Billy Tauzin helped the entire pharmaceutical industry, they then appoint him as a high ranking member of their own group. Am I a conspiracy theorist when the obvious question comes to mind; what was he doing to ensure the citizens rights and well being at this time? Did he consider one moment that this would shift the balance of power heavily towards the pharmaceutical companies?
It is obvious to me that this guy scammed his individual citizens in America by representing and fighting for the rights of an industry over that of real Americans, then ran off to be rewarded for his loyalty by PHARMA after his term ended.
