the problem lies within your statemet, you could behave differently then just acquiescing to the corporate lobbyists.

I have no problem with them making huge profits on their products.

they should be allowed a fair shot at profits, because their product is partly intellectual property. I never said that they should give it to me or anyone else for free. They should have to play in a fair market system with rules and regulations that benefit the people not the corporation.
But the healthcare system debacle is as much a problem they created. Why in America the cost is so much drastically different than in Canada? Mexico? Great Britain? Why is it that another manufacturer in Africa cannot make a AIDS treatment drugs without infringing upon intellectual copyrights and pay percentage franchise fees? The difference in generic vs. name barnd is huge.
from my insurance company:
OXYCODONE W/APAP TAB
2 per day $24.00
vs.
PERCOCET 10/650MG TABLET
2 per day Your Answer
$50.00
that's my copay not what the ACTUAL cost is if I did not have insurance. I'd say around proabaly $30 vs. $100
