> intense special interest lobbying When can we stop to being so euphemistic and just call it corruption? I do not have to wear my PhD hat in economics to say that the relatively high cost care in the US pays for both the lobbyists' salaries and the now-even-higher dividends of the companies that choose to contract those lobbyists. Workers pay through the nose, rich folk get richer. Democracy subverted once again.
