Guess what, AOC? You're 100% correct that healthcare rates are based upon a corrupt system which is vulnerable to lobbying.
I've been saying that myself. However, Medicare For All is not the solution -- it will just make the problem even worse. That's because the lobbying is often aimed at the Medicare rates, which drive the negotiated rates later set between insurance companies and healthcare providers. So if it's a Medicare For All system, there will be even more lobbying, more corruption, and more wasted money.
Sad!
The real solution is to tear down the entire pricing model of the healthcare industry and start over, including introducing real competition for pricing. (Right now it is NOT a free market system!)
