Yeah, it's really hard to go head up against companies with 100B+ revenue (united healthcare etc) who essentially write the laws.

I think this is a good space for the government to step in with progressive policies, and there are a lot of supporters that aren't as easily influenced by lobbying and under the table bribery.

Our approach is to make something that makes the existing system easier to use for patients, under the assumption that that system continues to exist as-is. We do think there is bipartisan support for price transparency. Something like single payer healthcare is much less likely to get passed and health insurance companies would fight for their lives to prevent it from happening.

There is a ridiculous amount of overhead that the whole insurance dance adds to providers and I think it's unfortunate how much that inflates pricing for everyone.
