The vast majority of members of both houses of Congress leave office with a lot more money than they had before they were elected. What did they "sell" for this money? They sold the only thing they can. An unfair advantage for one person (corporation) over their competition. That is what the tax code is. The IRS sole purpose if to make sure the persons buying our Representatives and Senators get their money's worth. The tax code and the accompanying regulation is so out of control that it would take more than 150 reams of paper to print it. >75,000 pages. That is how many "favors" our elected representatives have sold. In the process they sell us down the river. Make no mistake, our Congress Persons want us dead, but they want to fleece us first. Don't get me started on the State and Local levels as well. Then there are the HOAs...
Blue shield- now there's a name up to its lobbying ears for dirt and mud.
Remember that time in the 2020s when they got busted incentivising c19 specific codes for hospitals? Remember when they also got busted incentivising doctors who treated for c19. I do.
I also remember absolutely freaking nothing happened to them. Nada, zip, zilch.
🤔Always did wonder who blueshields biggest investors were.😐
I am not very optimistic that this corruption will ever go away no matter who is in charge of HHS or who is the president. The system is too deeply embedded and ingrained. It would take a seismic shift in morals and principles both of which are in short supply in Washington to restore integrity and honor to this cesspool. Any of you watch, "The Curse of Oak Island"? For those that do, you understand the swamp. Both on Oak Island and in Washington the swamp holds its secrets well and doesn't give them up easily. Just too bad that we can't attach a gigantic suction hose to the Washington swamp and suck it dry.

Yep. This.
“ If you ever wondered just how corrupt both sides of the aisle truly are when it comes to the medical industrial complex….”
Loved watching Kennedy call out Bernie’s taking a lot of big pharma money. Bernie sure got mad at him.
Ol Bern blew a gasket!!!!!! 😂
Yeah, that was an excellent exchange.
Methinks Bernie loves his money.
Clarity ! thanks for sharing, KMcC.

Rather than drop $20m in donations, how about BC-BS lower their rates?
God forbid! 🙄😱

The LOVE of money is the root of all evil - and politicians (of all stripes) live on the "mother's milk" of money.
Some of them have become millionaires on the public salary. Amazing!
