It's a windfall for the crooks in congress too.
Every health care company lobbyist is lined-up outside congress with wads of cash. They buy a 'tweak' and their company makes billions. And the cost? They give 'donations' and buy 100,000 copies of the congressman's book... - 'How I Became A Servant of the People - and a Millionaire in Four Short Years'...
This explains why these tyrants have no desire to listen to the will of We the People....their re-election campaigns and/or retirements are being funded and pockets are being lined so they have no need to listen to everyday citizens.
