I'm curious to know what their selling point is- Are they still lobbying
their cause based on their own 'un-biased' studies? Also, do you have
any $$$$ amounts of their annual backing from the insurance companies?

I really like Glendenning- he _seems_ to actually be more on the public side
rather than big government [and BIG BUSINESS, i.e., Schaefer] was. Then again
it is early in the term- you never know if one could get desperate for

with Glendenning as he is making some progress; IMHO-
