No! The problem IS related to California politics. The Davis Campaign has accepted $130,000 from Martin Wygod, the CEO of WebMD. WebMD is a cool company, but the reality is that when Wygod gives Davis $130,000 IT IS A CALIFORNIA POLITICAL ISSUE!

I understand what you're saying. My state senator is a pharmicist at a local hospital. He also sits on the Tenn Care Oversight Committee and has been consistant in pro-HMO policies up to and including support of a state income tax to fund an HMO Universal Health Care System in our state. He BTW is also a Republican. I will not be voting for him in November. No not even for the sake of the GOP. I've had it and will not help such programs continue. Till people take off their party hats and start holding both parties elected responsible nothing good is going to happen in health care reform. But actually It's not near so much health care reform needed as it is a crack down on Health Care Insurance Industry abuses. Both parties are up to their necks in this and covering it up.

A search of the Sec. of State campaign finance database in California suggests that you are correct. In fact, in federal policies the HMO's have sent more money to the GOP than the Dem's. Small wonder that the GOP weaklings passed HIPAA and HMO laws in the last ten years.

Now, we have to get active to kick loser GOP incumbents out. We need the real conservative and strong guys in.

That's why I'm supporting Bill Simon.
