No, of course not. Have you honestly given up on democracy over there? If your country weren't so damn big, I would just pity such a descent, but as it is, it's terrifying to the rest of the world.
Yes, absolutely. My entire life I've watched this play out. Not once were we ever close to free healthcare for all citizens. For every human that demands this there are thousands of dollars of lobbying at the ready and lawmakers don't even cost that much. You can apparently buy off a house rep for as little as $20k.
Are you seriously asking people that lost family members because of the greed of C-level individuals to not lose hope on allegedly democratic processes that can't solve their issues?

Pretty much. Look up "citizens united". It turned USA into an oligarchy. Billionaires are allowed to buy elections, and politicians are beholden to the billionaires.
