150 million is more than John McCain spent on TV advertising during the president campaign. McCain spent $126 million.

Who said those "evil" companies are against the reform? (Leftists)

Obama admin has lined up all the players on their side: unions, big businesses (like Walmart), Drug companies, the media, academia...

You really don't understand how the system works do you?
Go back and take a look at Microsoft and the amount of money they spent lobbying politicians before their 'monopoly' case. They had one lobbyist before, and 400+ and a building in DC after. Ask yourself why.
