Executive Summary
New members of the Senate Health Committee are unlikely to support legislation favoring the brand industry. Senator-elect Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a strong supporter of drug importation, described himself during his campaign as "one of the national leaders in opposing the pharmaceutical industry - the greediest industry in the country."
