Collins addresses White County Rotary, talks Mueller report, immigration, more

By Dean Dyer, WRWH

Attorney General William Barr Thursday will release the hyped-up and highly-anticipated Mueller report on suspected Russian influence in the 2016 election.  On Tuesday, Georgia's 9th District Congressman Doug Collins told the White County Rotary Club the investigations have pretty well dominated this year's congressional session. 

"The  Mueller report is already out - we've already got the findings," Collins said. "The full report coming out Thursday is going to say the same thing that the summary said."  

Collins also discussed other issues including immigration, infrastructure, health care and prescription costs. 

Collins said in the prescription drug area the pharmacy benefit managers "have kinda' sucked the life out of community pharmacies" as they have grown.

"Three of them control 80-percent of your drug market, three of them control 80-percent of your drug pricing and they have done so many times under Medicare Part D - they have done it under the government's passive  permission," Collins said.

Collins told the group he sees Congress working on meaningful legislation the remainder of the year.

"The presidential cycle has already started," Collins noted. "It seems like everything is viewed through a political lens, so we are going to focus on things we think we can get done - hopefully, infrastructure, hopefully, work on immigration doing the things that can get done and then we'll have to live through the rest of the political cycle."
