1. Seems the way many are picked these days: the people vote, the vested interests bid at auction. . . |

3. Put everyone's name in a hat....... |

6. I thought that same idea. Make any voter part of the pool and randomly select them. |

5. We currently have a hybrid - public elections of privately auctioned candidates |

We pretend they serve the public when they so obviously don't. Healthcare ripped that scab off for everyone to see.Any government that is capable of not negotiating drug prices in a public health program deserves to be dissolved and replaced.
