Senate health committee chair Bernie Sanders has taken a step toward subpoenaing the CEOs of Johnson & Johnson and Merck related to an investigation into high drug prices in the United States, he announced Thursday.
The step is highly unusual, as the health committee hasn’t issued a subpoena in more than 40 years.
