I
recently
spoke
with
Cindy
Kohlmann
of
KDTH
radio
in
Dubuque
about
the
Iowa
State
Fair,
U.S.
relations
with
North
Korea
and
China,
the
investigation
into
Russian
interference
in
the
U.S.
election,
FBI
Director
Christopher
Wray,
my
over-the-counter
hearing
aids
bill
and
government
purchase
and
travel
cards.

I
am
in
my 37th
year
of
holding
meetings
in
every
one
of
Iowa’s
99
counties.
This
month,
I
will
hold
town
meetings
in
Ringgold,
Taylor,
O'Brien,
Osceola,
Monona
and
Shelby
counties
in
addition
to
question-and-answer
sessions
at
local
businesses,
high
schools
and
service
clubs
in
two
dozen
counties.
The
Justice
Department
and
EpiPen
maker
Mylan
announced
a
settlement
of
$465
million
over
EpiPen’s
misclassification
under
the
Medicaid
Drug
Rebate
Program,
far
below
a
government
watchdog’s
overpayment
estimate
of
$1.27
billion
over
10
years. The
settlement
amount
is
a
disappointment.
A
company
got
away
with
overcharging
the
taxpayers
for
a
long
time.
The
agencies
that
are
supposed
to
look
out
for
taxpayers
should
not
be
pulling
their
punches.
If
there’s
any
good
news,
it’s
that
EpiPen
will
be
classified
the
right
way
going
forward. Watch
a
local
news
segment
on
the
settlement
announcement
below.
