How about an actual impartial, unbiased news source to support your BS?

"PR Newswire ... is the premier global provider of multimedia platforms and distribution that marketers, corporate communicators, sustainability officers, public affairs and investor relations officers leverage to engage key audiences. ... PR Newswire today provides end-to-end solutions to produce, optimize and target content -- and then distribute and measure results."

Re: CAHU and CAHUPAC

"Its mission is to facilitate, with strategically targeted political contributions, the legislative and advocacy program of CAHU with a primary emphasis on supporting the role of the agent in the delivery of private health insurance."

From your link above, "Despite the current growing call for a single payer system, the survey commissioned by the California Association of Health Underwriters (CAHU) showed a supermajority of California voters opposed the creation of government run health care when they learn of the associated cost burden to families."

I would like to see how the question(s) in the 'survey' were worded.
