Hey Straggler,

One question - What did other industries want?
Err Straggler, I think you may still be missing my main point: the public's interest/needs came last, AFTER all/some/ANY big business. It does not matter what other industries or politicians want. It does not matter which industries or politicians profit or lose. It only matters that the public's interests/needs are not being served. Thus, the proper question is "What did the people want?" 70% wanted universal heath care.
Not gonna happen.
