Fremont Region - Office of the Governor

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Several weeks of debate and involvement by such people as MArokai, Fritz, Alfeitch and Franzl could not produce a single payer bill that worked in 2009, and despite that it was passed 8-2 and remained for years. Passages even contradicted each other (kind of like the Fremont constitution).


I understand the desire for single payer care, but I as the Governor noted it is not something that can be rushed and I would add it is not the best way to reform healthcare in my view, though I am certainly in favor of allowing a region to select that option and my support for a healthcare bill that maintains the region's right to pursue such option remains. Perhaps naively so, it is my hope that such can indeed be passed nationally. That will provide greater funding from the federal level and a greater certainty that will enable all three regions to pursue policies that fit their region's needs.

I look forward to working with Secretary/Governor Truman in both his capacities on this issue and also with members of Congress from both parties.

A balanced commons for a swing region. Fitting!
