The article focused on Perrys comments at a Border Summit speech in south Texas (8-22-01), days before the 9-11 attacks, about bi-national health insurance Texas-funded coverage for both U.S. and Mexican border residents. The governors statement favored a study, required by the Legislature, about "the feasibility of bi-national health insurance.
The DMN continued, "Katherine Cesinger, spokeswoman for Perrys campaign, downplayed the topic of bi-national health insurance. 'A bill was passed by the Legislature that authorized a study to look into this issue, which ultimately concluded there were numerous barriers to accomplishing that idea, and the Legislature took no further action on this concept,' she said." However, in spite of the Legislatures failure to act, Perry made clear his willingness to funnel Texass assets to Mexico.

Perry has consistently positioned himself as a social and fiscal conservative, but the above comments reveal a different record. Indeed, four years later, Perry noted his approval of a bigger example of socialized medicine when he embraced Hillary Clintons national health care plan.

Ah, you must be a Ron Paul supporter. It’s like you guys are the only ones who know the truth.
Great thing about Freepers is that the community is self correcting. Post something stupid and untrue and it won't be long until it is exposed.
Perry is a good man, a former Air Force pilot, a patriot who has the administrative experience we need. He is 100 percent prolife. We could hardly ask for a better man to be president.
You’ve posted a nice comment in order to tell me that you’ve learned something. You’ve restored my faith in FReepers! Thank you!
“Perry is a good man, a former Air Force pilot, a patriot who has the administrative experience we need.”
Not only that, La Raza seems to like him too. A real man for all the people.
Yes, it would be terrible for you to actually learn something factual on this board.
Yes Senior Ricardo is going to give each of his Fairy’s an hand picked Illegal for a pet as thanks for the work.
They don’t want the truth.
Speaking of the truth.
This is GOOD.

Sort of cleanses one of all the BS slime.
Yes, because the overwhelming lack of evidence has shown that to be so....
South Koreans sleep soundly on their border with NORKS because of American Taxpayer dolars and the American GI.
Why cant Texans, New Mexicans, Arizonans and Californians?Maybe Perry can educate us peons and peasants about things we just dont know enough about to have an opinion?
Illegal immigration is THE KEY to the perpetuation of the status quo in DC......
You CANNOT..in 2012...run ANY political campaign that is ambiguous about your immigration position in the current job market.
Unemployed Americans are looking for assurances of their governments concern about THEIR plight...not that of businesses forced into looking for disposable labor because of onerous tax and regulatory policy.
Illegal Labor is the Feds out for preserving the status quo regarding Taxes and Regulation...and is the ultimate litmus test as to the candidates in question commitment to meaningful regulatory and tax reform. If they are wishy-washy on the subject...they have no real intent to disturb the DC status quo...no matter how big their cowboy hat and six-gun.
Agreed, but the Pro-NAFTA Perrybots around here will make great strides to say any lie to sway people. Much like Rick Perry himself.
Perhaps under that proposed program, but it's working out that way anyway, isn't it? As, e.g., illegals crowd emergency rooms in Houston and stick the Harris County Hospital District e.g. with their bills that they then walk away from, claiming indigent status.
HCHD is one of the hottest potatoes in county government, as I'm sure you're aware, as it is a huge source of revenue transfer from Harris County property-tax payors to indigent illegals, tweakers, etc. -- clients of the Democratic Plantation, in other words.
Now, you’re invoking EMTALA, a Federal law, as proof that a study about the feasibility of private insurance sales in 2001 is “working out that way.”
And as an indictment against - or an attempted indictment against - Governor Perry, its ridiculous.
No, I am not. The fact that I did not would be consistent a) with my post which didn't mention EMTALA and b) with the fact that I'd never heard of it.
Nevertheless, Mexican nationals are receiving abundant health-care assistance from the State and municipal (county) governments of Texas, aren't they? Which is consistent with one of the stated objectives of the 2001 proposal. If it didn't go forward, one reason might have been that Mexican nationals illegally resident in America had already found, in the Harris County health care system, an acceptable free subsitute.
You Perrytards do nothing but read from the script provided for you. I do my own research thanks.
I know what you mean, Crip. It shows that they are actually big people, doesn't it!
Contrast them with Leona Helmsley--Oops! I mean Hillary Clinton--who didn't want anyone in the White House making eye contact with her--or Nancy Pelosi, who had to have a larger jet to fly herself--and family and friends--across the U.S. and who-knows-where-else.
I don’t remember the same polls being posted multiple times, but that would also be excessive.
1) What is a "Perrytard"? 2) Doing your own research doesn't seem to be working very well for you, since you looked ignorant in this matter.
