They have an "interest" in this that they would rather not admit. Which, when you want to get into discussions of plants and Town halls, they would really rather not admit.
They have just as much skin in the game as anyone. A 10 Billion grab if you will.
I'm still trying to figure out the magic savings that are coming from this bill where all I see are cost centers. I suppose that is the "magic" of it.

Pharma has also forked over $80 billion thus far because even they realize there's not much use in selling drugs no one can afford. I do resent the way they've tried to buy out any sort of bargaining clauses preventing drugs by the lowest bidder. But at the same time, which "bill" is this "bill" as there are more than one?
And the magic savings are being slowly raped out of this bill special interests holding it up and minimizing any real reform. Instead of getting this out of the way in a couple of years, unfortunately it will take several years of evolution towards a more workable system. But that's fine I guess...
