Wow, what a misinformed person.
So the drug companies haven't lobbied for mandatory drugs.
Hmmmm. Pampaloma virus....
How many injections are your kids required to get.
Most all of that was mandated, not by involuntary... but by pushes by
the drug lobbies.

No drug company ever lobbied for mandatory vaccinations for measles,
whooping cough, polio, diphtheria, and a few other diseases. There are many
companies that provide these vaccines - the competition exists.


But very misguided. Our system is not as free and open as you think.
But for the most part, it is better than most other restrictive
systems. But it is getting to the point where they are stiffling
competition with govt regs. Some states prevent competition by the
laws they have.

Yep.


So grow up. Get real.
Gass didn't do anything that most other companies wouldn't try to do
if they could.

Any company CAN lobby. Whether it's worth their effort is another question.
In the case of government backed loans for green energy, for example, the
best way to lobby is to be a political donor.
