UHC lobbyists didn't write the bill. They had too much input, but it's a
right-wing conspiracy that they wrote it.

Cite that. I cited the allegation, you have not proved it was wrong.

here's a chart of industries that lobbied on the bill

insurance companies were 4th on the list

strange. i find no reference at all to your claim

OTOH we do know that wall street CEO's routinely meet with GOP
lawmakers...behind closed doors...

then these guys oppose obama's regulation of wall street.

what a coincidence!!
