Why isn't Henry Waxman demanding records from drug companies about profits, compensation, and entertianment?  Employee activities?

Why just the health insurance industry?

Quote
“You not only break the deal, but you break the bank for us,” said Billy Tauzin, chief executive of the drug industry’s trade group, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, known as PhRMA.

At issue is a multibillion-dollar “windfall” that Mr. Waxman contends the drug industry received when drug benefits were added to Medicare coverage in 2006. Mr. Waxman, Democrat of California, is chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and is central to the House’s legislative efforts on health care.


Quote
“We want it back,” Mr. Waxman said in an recent interview. “We want to make sure the windfall for the drug companies does not continue, and we want to recover the money that has been a windfall.”

What about windfall profits to due to climate change legislation he is part of?  Cap and trade monopolies?

Where does all the money go?

How much are the advocates of Cap & Trade spending on employee compensation, bonus plans, and entertainment/activities/marketing?
