Headline is a little misleading.
"HillaryCare" did not exist at the time Perry wrote his letter. It had been announced she was looking at the topic of healthcare reform, and he wanted to make sure she did not neglect rural Texans (which was sort of his job). Once it was clear what she was up to, Perry apparently hated it as much as the rest of us.
I think he can be criticized for believing it was even possible for Hillary to come up with meaningful reform, but I don't see how can be tagged with supporting the HillaryCare proposal that actually emerged because based upon what I have read, he clearly didn't.

Let's see - this letter was written in April of 1993. The details of the HilaryCare plan were not revealed until the fall of 1993. Here we see the Agriculture Commissioner of Texas asking Hilary to take the needs of rural farmers and ranchers into consideration of any health reform plan she develops, a plan that was originally
advertised as away to control costs, not impose national health care.
Wow, what a smoking gun! Obviously, Perry supports socialized health care! /sarcasm

If Perry was the Conservative he now wants to run as, he would have written Hillary telling her he hopes her proposals would keep the Federal government out of the way of Texans providing solutions in Texas for health care and health insurance needs of the citizens in their state.

I keep telling you out of staters...Perry is not as conservative as you think ge is. If he is elected as president he will govern from the middle not the right. So if you want An establishment candidate with an accent...he’s your guy!

I do have to admit that I didn’t read the whole article, because since it isn’t really NEWS, my company blocks it.
