When I first arrived in Washington, I was in awe. The gleam off of the Capitol Dome was something to behold. It represented hope for me. It was a building in which the future of the country was debated, laws were written and amended, and real decisions were made. I was surrounded by bright staffers that, on both sides of the political aisle, had nothing but the best intentions for the country motivating them to do their best. Fast forward 15 years, and while the gleam is still there, I now understand a lot more about the sausage factory and what happens underneath that bright light shining on top of the hill. My understanding is becoming even clearer to me as a few congressmen keep pushing to harm doctors, our coronavirus frontline, by allowing insurance companies to impose price controls.
Congress is often dirty, immoral, lazy, and self-serving — but we can’t just stand by and watch it do bad things.
