Senator Bernie Sanders and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clashed during Kennedy's confirmation hearing for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Sanders, a proponent of universal healthcare, challenged Kennedy to guarantee healthcare for all Americans, provoking a heated response. Kennedy accused Sanders of taking pharmaceutical industry money, to which Sanders denied, claiming his contributions came solely from workers. Their intense exchange highlighted the broader issue of pharmaceutical funding in politics and accountability, revealing a deep divide over healthcare policy and campaign finance practices.
The problem of corruption is not just in the federal agencies, it's in Congress too. Almost all the members of this panel are accepting millions from the pharmaceutical industry.
I ran for president like you. I got millions and millions of contributions. They did not come from the executives. Not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry.
