WASHINGTON — Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) plans to deliver an address to a closed meeting of the drug industry’s powerful lobbying group on Thursday, a clear sign of the industry’s interest in courting the newly minted lawmaker.
Romney’s plans to speak at the upcoming board meeting of PhRMA — to be attended by CEOs from major drug makers like Merck, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson — were described to STAT by three drug lobbyists. He is scheduled to appear for 30 minutes.

It’s always closed with him when big money’s there.

I’m laughing so hard right now. It’s important that a know buddy be informed before attacking unknowns. Especially a religious Institution that stands for only good.
Once a vulture capitalist, always a vulture capitalist.
So this meeting is classified? One wonders where it is in the classification scale of from ‘Confidential’ all the way up to ‘For Your Eyes Only.’ It is outrageous to me that we pay a Senator to share some kind of government secrets with lobbyists.
Phrma let’s make a deal, duh, nope.
There’s not too many contenders that could seriously challenge Trump for the Republican nomination, but he’s arguably the strongest. PhRMA is wise to maintain a friendly relationship with him.
No he does not have to be in Bed with Them.
Except Republicans just passed a resolution to eliminate the 2020 GOP primary.
