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.

What EVER.
It would be nice if there were a way to get Mexico to kick in for the medical costs incurred by their citizens that they freely encourage to seek their fortunes in El Coloso Del Norte without even asking it a formal by-your-leave.

Hi Paulbot!! *waves*
You are working overtime to post as many anti-Perry postings you can.
Then 0bama white House thanks you.
WHO are you for??? Please answer.
Rick Perry damage control will be here soon.
“Please answer.”
Don’t hold yer breathe.
Tempest in a Li’l Teapot Alert!
Coming up next on Tempest TV: Perry wouldn’t share swing at recess!!!
This Perry RINO is dirty!
Actually, that sounds like a good idea. The United States government will pay for health insurance for all United States citizens in Mexico and the Mexican government can pay for health insurance for all Mexican nationals in the United States. I’m for it!!!

Not damage control, more of you cannot believe what you lying eyes see, let me spin it for you. See if you wear these rose colored glasses and look at this blue wall there is not one word about what a liberal Perry is.
How horrible!
Thread predictions...
Obama will win because the only way to fight a communist is with a bigger communist.
Obama’s Saul Alinsky and Reverend Wright ties matter. But Perry policy speeches and letter don’t matter because they were written aa long time ago...
Border fence? We don’t need a border fence. we just need to get ride of the incentives. You know like the Texas Dream Act and guest worker programs Perry wants so badly.
