Guess who supported Obamacare?

Bloomberg News
“Drugmakers Vowed to Campaign for Health Law, Memos Show
By Drew Armstrong on May 31, 2012
Drugmakers led by Pfizer (PFE) (PFE) Inc. agreed to run a “very significant public campaign” bankrolling political support for the 2010 health-care law, including TV ads, while the Obama administration promised to block provisions opposed by drugmakers, documents released by Republicans show.”

Whose interests do you suppose the drug companies wanted to serve? Ours or theirs?
OK I know this is not a political forum but when politics injects itself into our health care then it becomes political whether we like it or not. Recent actions by the FDA suggesting that they may shut down CCSVI treatment in the US is another example.
