See, that's the problem with govt involvement in almost anything. Your choice is either having opportunities for corruption (veiled or otherwise) or else curtailing freedom of expression. Neither one is very attractive.

There shouldn't be career lobbyists or career politicians, really, as they tend to bring the authenticity out of the process, but that's another thread.
As for government involvement in medicine, I still can't get over how well it works in France compared to the US. Yes, it's not perfect, but in comparison it's absolutely breathtaking. And more importantly, it's what the people wanted, thus dealing with the curtailing of freedom issue. If we could get off our asses and do some homework, collective homework (what a concept!), I suspect this could get solved. There'd also probably be a revolution. Heh.
