"The pharmaceuticals industry is putting its army of lobbyists into overdrive," announced Sharyl Attkisson in CBS' Follow the Money feature. Attkisson relied on reporting by ProPublica, the not-for-profit investigative journalism team, to count 27 former Capitol Hill legislators and staffers who now work on the industry's $18m effort to shape healthcare reform legislation: already they have succeeded in preserving a ban on discount prescription drug imports from Canada and in preventing lower prescription prices for Medicare patients. This is how K Street hires, an unidentified ex-staffer explained: "Every time a major bill passes there is an exodus of Hill staffers. People are willing to pay a premium for their knowledge."

By people the staffer meant Big Pharma.
