Wealthy pharmaceutical companies have never had it so good. Record profits while dodging taxes.

In 2013, the U.S. spent nearly 40% more per person on prescriptions than Canada, the next most expensive industrialized nation.

In 2014, the U.S. federal government paid $1 billion in government contracts to Pfizer who has $140 billion in untaxed profits stashed offshore.

In 2015, Martin “Pharma Bro” Shkreli increased the cost of an HIV/AIDS drug by 4,000% – charging patients $750 per pill.

Enough is enough! Tell Congress that it is time to hold the pharmaceutical industry accountable. They cannot be allowed to rake in record profits while avoiding paying their fair share of taxes.
