But the bigger reason is probably that ultimately they know the key to maximizing their long-term profitability is to funnel as much money into Washington DC as they possibly can. There will be more laws regulating healthcare in the future. Baby boomers are going to be using a lot of healthcare in the coming decades and retired people vote. The debates will be no less political.
