Governor Pawlenty vetoed HF3391, the so-called Health Care 'Reform' bill yesterday. “The goal was to make fundamental changes in how we deliver and provide care in order to lower costs and improve quality, and to use some of the savings to expand access. Unfortunately, many months later, this bill fails to achieve those goals,” he said in his veto letter to Speaker of the House Margaret Kelliher.
The governor cited cost, subsidies to families earning above the median income ($81,477), “auto-pilot” increases in health care sending and provisions to crowd out private coverage, among other problems as reasons for his veto.
