Their desire to milk every penny from us by right or might is what caused this.

The desire to be as rich as everyone else is what caused this.

And, most egregiously, the idea that they can just charge whatever they want without regulation and get away with it because it is our freaking health they are toying with.

That is what caused this. Idiots like Kennedy are a symptom... not the cause.
