Mississippi lawmakers will be asked to approve ‘Haleycare’

The Clarion-Ledger, 1/17/8

Wonder if it will be called Haleycare? One thing for sure is that it isn’t Hillarycare.

Gov. Haley Barbour has put forward a plan to get more of Mississippi’s 500,000 uninsured adults at least some health coverage.

In keeping with the Republican ethic, it is a 100 percent private deal, far removed from the 100 percent government-managed and government-funded approach endorsed by the junior senator from New York.

Its biggest plus is that it recognizes how things really are.
