Rep. Massie: "...The bigger way [pharmaceutical companies] have influence, I witnessed myself on the floor of the house one day when Paul Ryan was speaker, he was like, so on cloud 9 that I think he forgot he was talking to me. And he had just landed like six figures, maybe it was $150,000 or $200,000 donation, from Eli Lilly to his super PAC... Congressmen aren't driving Ferraris up here because some drug company bought them one...it's deeper than that....The drug companies, most rank and file congressmen, don't care who's sitting in that seat. They care who the Speaker is. And the Speaker decides which bills come to the floor. And so they focus all their money on the speaker's PAC. And because they know he's gonna be the gatekeeper."
