This is surprising how, exactly?

Isn't this a prime example of what is called, The Tail wagging the Dog?

Barry and his minions set this up to make it all look like it wasn't him who was actually, ya know, pushing for socialized medicine, but that he was just taking up the torch for certian "business concerns" within the country.

He gets to play the role of hero, ya see, just like his lapdogs in the media want it.

All the World's a Stage, right?

Fuck the lot of them.
