    Democrats have too many constituents that are employed in the health insurance or pharmaceutical industries to ever make a meaningful changes.

    Republicans too. All the big politicians seem to be in bed with the industries draining us dry. They both lie to us about how what they will do will fix it but neither are willing to stomach the price of dismantling the insurance scam industry.

      Not really. Health insurers and pharma companies are concentrated in very blue cities, with the employees living there or in swing-district suburbs. If you co-sponsored a bill that put thousands of constituents out of a job, you’d join them in a couple years.

      I’m not saying it’s right, just that it is.
