In an absolute abuse of power, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius sent a letter to the 83 year old CEO of drug maker Forest Labs telling him to quit his job or HHS would invoke rarely used federal power to have Medicare, Medicaid and the VA buy drugs from his company.

The Wall Street Journal wrote that this move "looks more like the Administration's latest bid to intimidate the health-care industry into doing its bidding on prices, regulations and political support for ObamaCare. This is the same agency that has threatened insurers with exclusion from new state-run health exchanges if they raise their premiums more than Mrs. Sebelius wants, or if they spread what she deems to be 'misinformation' about the President's health bill."

Peter Pitts, a former Food and Drug Administration official who now runs the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, stated that this move by Sibelius "reinforces everybody's worst fears—that this Administration won't do business with anybody that doesn't completely agree with its policy initiatives. Not only will it refuse to even have the argument, it will actively destroy these people."
