Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is planning for a war on major pharmaceutical manufacturers as the new chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee.

Sanders, one of the most outspokenly left-wing voices in the more moderate upper chamber, was picked to chair the Democrats’ side of the HELP Committee, which was previously chaired by Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.).
