Millions are being spent to lobby Congress on health care overhaul

Money talks on Capitol Hill. And it is why the lobbyists rule America. Tell me how this is not corruption.

in reference to:

"In the first six months of 2009, financial disclosures show, health care groups spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars -- that's billion, with a "b" -- to hire lobbyists who can influence Washington's deliberations on health care and insurance reform.

That total, which doesn't include lobbying by health insurance groups, is expected to grow by $125 million or so this week, when lobbyists submit disclosures for July, August and September -- the months when work on health care reform got serious.That's on top of the $485 million that health groups spent on lobbying last year."
