Democrats Discover Healthcare Costs, Ignore Their Own Lobbyists
Democratic Senators are staging a Florida photo-op to highlight rising ObamaCare costs, as reported by The Hill. Quite the performance, considering the same party is busy funneling billions in taxpayer money to military contractors and pharmaceutical giants—the very entities driving up both healthcare premiums and the national debt. Remember, the 'Affordable Care Act' was largely written by pharma
and insurance lobbyists, not the people who actually need affordable care. Now they tour the country, clutching pearls over a system they helped rig. This theatrical outrage over healthcare costs (a mere symptom) conveniently distracts from the systemic issues—like, say, Congress voting for ever-increasing military aid and war-profiteering. While Americans face medical bankruptcies, the Senate
consistently greenlights massive defense budgets, often influenced by lobbying groups that prioritize endless conflict over domestic well-being. Funny how they never mention how many 'Affordable Care Act' expansions could be funded with the $14 billion just earmarked for a foreign military, or the billions more that flow annually to defense contractors.
