What future for Basic Health?

[Comadreja]

This program is one of the big reasons I moved here. I doubt there is a single Red state that has anything similar. I wonder what the future for Basic Health would be under Rossi?

1. That is my concern too

I have not heard him address Basic Health but this link gives a pretty good idea of his values - scroll down to the list of articles about his measures.

Basic Health goes and I am a goner! Really hoping for Gregoire to pull this off.

2. 25,000 people knocked off Basic Health by the 2003 Legislature

All single adults.
See Phil Talmadge's op-ed in today's P-I.

A friend of mine just signed up for it. I was surprised to find out it is not closed. You can make up to $1551 a month to qualify. But to cut costs, the legislature may well cut that down to pare the rolls.

How about getting rid of all those gifts to big business? How about state personal income tax, that would be progressive instead of all our regressive taxes here? I'm willing to pay my share.

We don't even have a governor-elect yet and I still hate the way this is turning out. We should have had Talmadge or Sims as governor.
