Economics aside, can you imagine what the United States would be like if Bernie Sanders was president of the country? The guy openly admits that the government is bought out by big corporations – including Big Pharma, and would make some major much-needed changes.

Not one to stay silent about issues that matter, Sanders recently spoke about President Obama's Food and Drug Administration nominee, Dr. Robert Califf.

In the video above, Bernie states:

"Dr. Califf's extensive ties to the pharmaceutical industry give me no reason to believe that he would make the FDA work for ordinary Americans, rather than just the CEOs of pharmaceutical companies."

One of Bernie's core issues is Pharma's nefarious drug pricing model. He calls this out, then berates their lobbying practices.

Sadly, his efforts were more for show as, days after, Califf was promoted to head of the agency.
