Why does the cost shifting have to result in every individual being compelled to participate when there are actors who are clearly guilty of causing the situation with deep pockets who have billions to spare?
Just which part of Citizens United don't you understand?

You can't always blame someone else for an individual's lifestyle choices. The
individual makes a choice to do commerce with these firms and is responsible for
the consequences, and eating at McDonald's once is not causative, but rather the
series of choices are cumulative. There's enough hamburger joints in this
country to eat at a different one everyday--who do you then blame?
