Regarding health care, I have the current complaint with my HMO, I barely use the damn services, but that doesn't keep my rates for going up and up and up...... Note some of health care related costs have a lot to do with the redundancy of equipment, excess of beds, and uninsured people going to the emergency room for no emergency related concerns. All these costs may help certain businesses, but more emphasis needs to be put on prevention. Subsidizing tobacco growers while proposing health reform is completed idiotic. A lot of this nonsense comes down to lobbying efforts and campaign finance reform or, in other words, no more quid pro quo's z
