Not if the Governor wanted to turn it into a national program as president.
I think we are so shell-shocked by big government we forget what states should be doing for themselves and what the federal government has no business meddling with. If a state even has state-run healthcare - and it works and they can pay for it - I have no problem with it at all. The Libertarian in me screams "STATES RIGHTS!"
Good post. States rights bump!
That’s a good reasoned answer.
So here is the next logical step:
Does Sarah think that her program ought to be something aspired to on a national level?
There used to be knocks against Reagan because he signed a certain abortion bill. Of course, these knocks would typically ‘forget’ that Reagan represented a very blue state. Naturally, any politician does what their constituents want. I was willing to forgive Romney for a similar reason on healthcare. Mass is incredibly blue.
But Sarah doesn’t have that excuse. Alaska isn’t a blue state.
This would also go for McCain. McCain represents a red state, yet is very liberal. I wonder how liberal mccain would truely become if he were elected in a blue state.
