Anybody post this here before: ABC video with anonymous source regarding a Gore mole in the Bush camp. Go down to the word Video and click on the darkened face. abcnews.go.com The Gore campaign was apparently able to keep the interview from being televised. So much for balanced coverage, the press jumps all over Bush for the word "rats" appearing on a commercial, but refuses to air evidence of a possible illegal act by the Gore team.

Your point is well taken. With the insurance industry alleging the high cost of medication is killing them (more insurance industry BS in my opinion) Let me ask you this -If we accept that premise, how about a simple plan without any prescription benefits? Boy that should be inexpensive. Why do folks choose non-deductible, less expensive policies -- with seemingly benign limitations? Because they are 1) not hurting at the time of purchase, 2) they do not read the fine print or hire an attorney to do so, 3) someone who is biased makes their decision for them, and/or 4) they naively believe the simple colorful brochure, presented to them by the insurance agent. Regrettably, few realize that their health insurance policy is crap until it's too late. We have a tendency to forget that ½ of the population, by definition, have IQs falling below 100, and that they are honestly incapable of separating fact from fiction. No one will admit to owning such an IQ, of course, but these real folks are more easily swayed by emotional than reason. Bill, Hillary, Al, Chuck, and all of Hollywood have long recognized that and use it to their advantage - they feel your pain yet know nothing about it.
