If you're using Chrome, the right column of this blog isn't displaying correctly. Switch to Firefox. If you're using the iPad, you're a tool. If you're using IE, go kill yourself.
(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

There are 3,300 lobbyists involved in the health care overhaul

That makes it six lobbyists per every lawmaker in Congress. More than 1,500 organizations have health care lobbyists and about three more are signing up each day. They spent $263.4 million during the first half of this year, $22 million more than the same time last year. Drugmakers alone spent $135.4 million, which is 64% more than the next biggest spenders, oil and gas companies.
