    Ah yes, just what the healthcare industry needs, LESS regulation. That’ll keep those for profit companies from gouging people for the life saving measures they need to not die.

        Yes, corporate lobbying is a huge problem here and is often used as a weapon to stifle competition and increase profits. At times it’s hard to remember what regulations are meant to do: Protect People from Corporations

        We don’t need to remove regulations, we need to improve them.

          At times it’s hard to remember what regulations are meant to do: Protect People from Corporations

          Historically they were introduced to protect corporations from people. Well, sometimes some collective interests from other collective interests.

          We don’t need to remove regulations, we need to improve them.

          It’s an arms race, and one side has more resources than the other.
