Top Democrat, in letter, blasts Valeant CEO for lack of cooperation

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday called on Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc for more details on its relationship with Philidor RX services and chided the company for not providing Congress any documents or other requested information.

“Your refusal to cooperate fully with Congress is extremely troubling and reflects a pattern of obstruction that impairs our ability to protect the American people against your company’s exorbitant price increases," U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings wrote in a letter to Valeant Chief Executive Michael Pearson.
