American lawmakers don’t fall from the sky. They are elected by the american people.
The New York Times has published hundreds of articles about healthcare industry abuses. It’s just that people don’t care. Americans overwhelmingly elect lawmakers that oppose regulating the healthcare industry.
I don’t get the impression that most American people vote based on values, but out of fear of “the other party” (and its voter base). Meme driven democracy.
It’s always amusing to see US folks visiting other countries and realising how things mostly just work. Even in Switzerland, with the world’s second most expensive healthcare spending per person.
You’re arguing against a completely different point.
I’m not saying these people weren’t elected. I’m saying that American elections results have become increasingly distant from the values of their constituents for multiple reasons.

Lmao. You must have no idea how American elections work.
Sorry, but this is true.
Mitch McConnell has served in the US Senate for decades.
He voted against paid leave bill. Every. Single. One.
He voted against every single labor rights bill. Every. Single. One.
For decades, the people of Kentucky reelected him. They truly love him.
