- People who are wealthy and can afford whatever
- People who are wealthy and want more tax breaks
- People who don’t have to pay for their health insurance
- Paid by company they work for
- Congress because US taxpayers pay for their insurance
- Congressmen who get lots of donations from the health care industry
- People who have never gotten sick or don’t have close friends or relatives that have gotten sick
