The core element of the proposed plan was an enforced mandate for employers to provide health insurance coverage to all of their employees through competitive but closely-regulated health maintenance organizations.
Opposition to the plan was heavy from conservatives, libertarians, and the health insurance industry.
"He is not "in favor of HillaryCare," he's writing as Ag Comm to Hillary at the start of her healthcare task force telling her to consider the needs and problems of farmers, rangers and rural communities as she proceeds."
Perry's first sentence is:
I think your efforts in trying to reform the nation's health care system are most commendable.
His next to last sentence is:
Again, your efforts are worthy, and I hope you will remember this constituency as the task force progresses.
It's true that he is talking about the problems of rural communities, but I also see where he calls her plan "commendable" and "worthy". I see no sign of opposition to the plan.
That was pretty well known right from the get-go.
The business about putting Vets at the end of the line after welfare people has never been particularly popular. That a veteran like Perry would "commend" such an effort raises some serious questions about all sorts of things.
