\u201cChris\u2019 experience building a BIG business gave him the TOUGHNESS to drive desperately needed major reforms, including my Historic MOST FAVORED NATION Drug Pricing Policy, to finally stop foreign freeriding off the backs of the American People. It is time for other countries to pay their fair share, and they\u2019re doing so! Our Drug Prices have come down MASSIVELY in the last year,\u201d he added.
