Seven pharmaceutical giants had to defend their industry before Congress last Tuesday: AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Pfizer and Sanofi. Legislators of the Finance Commission of the Senate of Finance “won minimum political concessions from seven CEOs of the pharmaceutical industry during Tuesday’s barbecue hours.

Their products include insulin, cancer drugs, asthma drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs and the best-selling Humira vaccines.
