In 1994 Pharma played a central role in defeating the Clinton health care package. In 2009, however, Big Pharma cut a deal with the Democrats, promising to cut drug costs by $80 billion over the next decade, and to support the Senate bill; in return they were promised they would not be hit by price controls and foreign drugs would not be allowed in.

During the presidency of Donald J. Trump, Big Pharma has been kept in check. Donald Trump has considered lowering prescription drug prices, which has also, in fairness, been discussed by 2020 Democrats, especially Bernie Sanders.
There are several examples of the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry. For instance, evidence is mounting that they have been covering up a cure for cancer.
Libertarians and populists on both the left and the right agree that Big Pharma has severely taken advantage of the working class for a long time.
However, disputes are had over what methods should be put in place to keep Pharma in place. 2020 Democrats advocate free health care, which is socialistic, while the Trump Administration argues that lowering prescription drug prices would suffice economically.
