HMO premiums on the rise, particularly the Republican areas

The health care system is messed up and HMO premiums are on the rise in exchange for corrupt, overpriced, and shoddy service. But with the hypocrisy and backstabbing of the Bush administration and Republicans, the regions in America that are solidly Republican, the Southeast and Midwest, are facing the greatest HMO increases.

HMO premiums look to be on the rise

HMOs nationwide are expected to raise monthly premiums 14.1% in 2008, the highest rate in four years, a national human resources firm projects.

Two regions -- the Midwest and Southeast -- face the highest average rate increases, said Hewitt Associates, a Lincolnshire, Ill.-based company that helps 160 large companies manage health benefits.

However, backstabbing is only a natural function among the right-wing. You get what you voted for.
