Minnesota governor, legislators haggle over healthcare system changes
Minneapolis Star Tribune, April 22, 2008
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is concerned that legislation now before a conference committee to revamp the state's healthcare system might actually drive up costs instead of cutting them.
Healthcare costs continue to rise at "unsustainable" levels, and the Legislature's proposal would raise those costs further by expanding eligibility for state health programs, Pawlenty said.
