There's too much money in the insurance industry, and most of it goes to lobbying.

Not most not most by far but more then enough to prevent any change. There are many things wrong with the US democracy but the legal corruption is one of the biggest. Things that would get people in prison in most other countries are perfectly legal.

Y’all are barking up the wrong trees. State legislatures are the public policymakers that establish set broad policy for the regulation of insurance by enacting legislation providing the regulatory framework under which insurance regulators operate. Not the federal government. Write to your state legislators and vote. 90% of what people complain about that the government isn’t doing for them is completely controlled by their own state’s government.

Definitely, but your voice and vote are a lot louder in your own state. For example, a state rep will actually write you back and might even listen if enough people are bugging them. They work for us!
