26 July 2019 - House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings said he plans to call drug company executives to testify when the House returns from recess in September.
Cummings made the announcement at the end of an emotional hearing Friday about the impact of high drug costs on patients.
"I want to tell you, this may make you feel some hope: We’re going to have the drug company folks sitting in the same seats as soon as we come back," Cummings told witnesses. "And we’re going to try to understand some of why they're doing what they're doing."
