4. But all three, when placed in Congress, will vote their best interests.

If they did not, they would no longer be millionaires/high net worth/high income.

Also, all three of the groups you mention have the ability to remove the suffering and poor in this nation. They have not done so.

So, the distinction is fairly meaningless when one is looking at millions in poverty, millions who are destitute and needing healthcare for issues that could be addressed but for the insane pricing from the healthcare industry, egged on by the manufacturers... both of whom are populated with millionaires/high net worth/high income individuals who could either strive to keep prices down and the ability to help those who can't pay at all... or they can guarantee that there are profits (which is why they are 'millionaires/high net worth/high income' in the first place). In the case of healthcare, there is no way to do both.

So, why are they choosing profits? (Rhetorical question.)
