And there's more....much more.
<><> Senate lobbying records show that Mylan spent more than $2 million on Washington lobbying in 2015. In addition, the company’s political action committee has distributed more than $79,500 in contributions for the 2016 election cycle, according to campaign-finance records available at OpenSecrets.org.
<><> The lobbying disclosure forms tell a remarkably bipartisan story. Mylan paid $40,000 to hire Scott Evertz, who had been director of AIDS policy in the George W. Bush administration.
<><>It paid $70,000 to the Glover Park Group; that bought the services of Joel Johnson, who is a former senior aide to President Bill Clinton, and of Gregg Rothschild, who had been chief counsel to Democratic Rep. John Dingell, longtime chairman of the House Commerce Committee.
<><> Mylan paid $240,000 to a firm called West Front Strategies, whose partners include Malloy McDaniel, a former policy adviser to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
<><> Mylan political action committee gave $7,500 to Sen. Chuck Schumer’s campaign for the 2016 cycle and $3,500 in the 2010 cycle, according to the Open Secrets records.
<><> Mylan’s CEO, Heather Bresch, daughter of a Democratic US senator from West Virginia Joe Manchin also cashed in, getting a humongous salary increase.
<><> When she recently spoke with The New York Times, Bresch listed among her top accomplishments, the passage of a federal law, the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012, requiring increased inspections of overseas drug manufacturers.
THIS JUST IN---Hillary Clinton issued a statement “calling on Mylan to immediately reduce the price of EpiPens.”

Sadly this goes way beyond the Clintons.
At this point the Fed Gov is little more than a
protection racket. RINOS are in on it too.
