Not sure if this is pointless or comical.

First, as a citizen I have a right to petition my representatives, and any representative. And I can do so as a group of citizens, and "hire" a person to represent my case. Hence, a lobbyist. If you eliminate lobbyists, then virtually all political organizations must disappear, and our representatives will sit isolated in DC.

There is nothing illegal or immoral, about lobbying your government.

Secondly, if health care is all about money, then, morally, we must provide free health care to all. But it is not about money, it is about principle and the proper role of government in the lives of its citizens.
