Not to belabor the point since it is a bit off topic, but I think you are confusing the issues here; prop 103 had nothing to do with the cost of electricity. It did have a positive impact on auto insurance rates.
I stand by my conclusion that national health care reform that can significantly lower the number of uninsured can result in the same win-win.

It isn't the nickel and dime here and there it is ultimately how much at the end of the day stays in my pockets.

Please take a look at the study from Families USA
(link) that makes a pretty strong case that less money "stays in your pockets" and you (and/or your employer) are paying higher premiums as a result of the costs for the uninsured.
