Governor Goalie: Time for a REAL SAVE!

Dear Governor,

It has often been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and nothing screams that axiom more loudly than passing legislation for no other good reason than to tell voters, "We did something."

Oftentimes, such rushes to "do something" result in the "cure" being much worse and nefarious than that which it was intended to ameliorate.

Such is the case with HF3391.

Bill sponsors have admitted they have no idea of how much this legislation will cost or how it will be funded. But outside projections have shown that the bill will bankrupt the Health Care Access Fund by 2012.

The bill create new layers of expensive government bureaucracy, allows government to seize control of our private medical information and set the stage for a government takeover of health care in Minnesota.

If you want good health care reform, look the initiative put forth by Colorado state Senator Bob Hagerdorn.

Recently, as you know, Minnesota was ranked the healthiest state in the nation, and I have no doubt that such a ranking is no accident. We have the highest access to health care.

PLEASE DON'T BOTCH IT UP!

Please veto HF3391.

Sincerely,

Leo Pusateri
