It would be nice if this was the public debate we were having. Recently they dragged oil company execs in for a light video chat based grilling in the house. I would prefer to see the medical insurance companies pilloried, but and for those pillorings to yield something of substance. I imagine that every minute of talk about abortion or immigration has the insurance companies and its benefactors thinking "wow, we're still getting away with it!"

That's how the US political system works. We are only allowed to debate a small range of issues that don't affect the income of the capitalists.
