(Cleveland)- Attorney General William Barr Thursday will release the hyped up and highly anticipated Mueller report on suspected Russian influence in the 2016 election. Tuesday Ninth District Congressman Doug Collins told the White County Rotary Club that investigations have pretty well dominated this years session of Congress.
Collins said, “the Mueller Report is already out, we’ve already got the findings.” He said, ” the full report coming out Thursday is going to say the same thing that the summary said.”
Collins discussed other issues including immigration, infrastructure, health care, and prescription cost.
Collins said in the prescription drug area the pharmacy benefit managers have kinda’ sucked the life out of community pharmacies, ” as they have grown three of them control 80 percent of your drug market, three of them control 80 percent of your drug pricing and they have done so, many times under Medicare Part D, they have done it under the government passive permission.
The rest of this year Collins sees congress working on meaningful legislation, “the presidential cycle has already started, it seems like everything is viewed through political lens, so we are going to focus on things we think we can get done, hopefully, infrastructure, hopefully, work on immigration doing the things that can get done and then we’ll have to live through the rest of the political, ” commented Collins.
