side note:

rumor has it O'Malley (GOV of MD) is trying to push his insane health care cause only to get on a VP ticket in 2008. So keep your eyes out on forced health care.

Perish the thought!

Surely politicians wouldn't use something as important as healthcare for all for political reasons?

Corruption is what you get when you mix government and profit. The problem is not the individuals. The problem is the system. Get rid of the profit and you will get rid of the motivation for any corruption.
