No public employee or official should receive health coverage exceeding that of *any* taxpaying individual in the state.
Wait . . . wait . . . this isn't as ridiculous as it sounds. I promise. Consider: If this were the case, how long would it be before everyone had adequate health coverage? How long would Governor Pawlenty, the legislature, and all state employees (including the staff that makes the state run) pay out of their noses for private health insurance before they were forced to pass statewide, adequate, universal health coverage? I for one think it would be quite interesting to find out.
