> I don't see why people keep directing their hate toward the corporations... > The hate and effort should be directed toward the politicians who prevent the implementation of changes that people want. Who do you think is hiring the lobbyists to pay off the politicians? Who do you think is paying the media to make sure people don't know that we're actually pretty agreed on this issue? I have enough anger for 'both' political parties, the corporations that buy them, and the media (social and corporate) that runs cover for both. And I'm not remotely apologetic for that; I believe it's the only rational and humane opinion to have about healthcare in the US.

> Who do you think is hiring the lobbyists to pay off the politicians? Again, it's not the hiring of the lobbyists that should be surprising, or where the effort and anger should be directed in my opinion. It should be toward the politicians that actually accept those payoffs. Of course an entity incentivized to maximize profit is going to lobby to improve its position. The elected representatives should behave in such a way that those lobbying efforts are wasted. Also the system should be organized so that it can't happen in the first place.
