What I don't get

I don't understand why Big Business hasn't turned their lobbyists loose all over Congress to get them to pass something like Medicare for all. Don't they understand that insurance company profits are coming at their expense? That if they didn't have to provide health care insurance, at an ever more unpredictable and rising cost, their bottom lines would improve?

We're always hearing about how companies need to cut wages and offshore jobs and get tax breaks so they can be competitive; wouldn't you think that having government-provided health care insurance, like most other industrial nations, would be a competitive boost for them? I don't get it. This is money out of their pockets, and they normally guard those pockets zealously.
