Since political bribes are legal in America, if I were a sociopathic oligarch I would regard it as probably the most productive investment that I could make. If we outlawed the bribery of politicians, the $438 billion that could be saved (by single-payer universal healthcare during a non-pandemic year) would no longer be extracted by the oligarchs of “healthcare,” and it appears that they are willing to kill 212,000 people a year to make sure they make more profit every fiscal period. So why would they allow Congress to do its job and fund a role model healthcare system? The only way I can see it happening is if those in Congress that are willing to let people die in order to serve their corporate masters are replaced by competent progressives who will serve our citizens' general welfare, and protect us from those who do things adverse to our rights and our communities’ interests (like the assholes in the healthcare industry).
