To quantify buying of the Senate a bit further here's interesting comment just posted on Washington Post wesite. It's a bipartisan effort:

Around this Earth, most modern countries are providing all of their people with some form of single payer HEALTHCARE, NON PROFIT TYPE. To do that, they spend an average of 10% of their GDP. The US spends 18% GDP on healthcare, $2.6 trillion,and for that only covers some 82% of it's people. And in all those other countries, no one goes bankrupt from healthcare bills.
But it seems, all of our politicians are bought and paid for, what else could prevent them from exercising common sense?
