cummings: let me say this. first of all, i want to thank you for raising the issue with regard to the ethical rules of the bar. i said a little bit earlier that i've been a member of the maryland bar since 1976, and i worked hard to get that license. as a matter of fact, even though i'm not practicing now, i still pay my bar deuce because i don't want anything -- dues because i don't want anything to happen to that license. i worked hard to that license and i've sworn to uphold the ethical rules of my profession just as i know you have, not just a letter of the law but the spirit of the law. and maryland, like d.c., has a legal ethical rule that says and i quote, and this is the maryland rule, an attorney shall not use means that have no substantial purpose other than to embarrass, delay or burden a third person, end of quote. and so i just do not see how the actions of this committee regarding mr. pagliano do anything other than that and that's why i'm voting against this and i thank the gentlelady for yieldin

cummings. mr. cummings: mr. chairman, i thank you for holding today's hearing.s you know, this issue of the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs has been one of my top priorities for several years. this hearing is critical because yet another drug company, mylan, has jacked up the price of a lifesaving product for no discernible reason. and i did read your testimony, miss bresch, i was and not impressed. they raised the prices. the reason being, i believe, to get filthy rich at the expense of our constituents. at the expense of our constituents. may i hold your epipen? the epipen has been around for decades. it was introduced in 1988. the active ingredient has been around even longer and it costs just pennies to make, as the chairman said. so what changed? what changed? what changed is that mylan acquired epipen in 2007. then they used a simple but corrupt business model that other drug companies have repeatedly used. we've seen it over and over and over again. find an old, cheap drug that has virtually no competition and raise the price over and over and o
