Daily Record: Howard health initiative has room for more

Associated Press, 12/31/08

ELLICOTT CITY — Howard County health officials say the county's new program to provide medical care for the uninsured has room for more participants. More than 1,100 people expressed interest during an enrollment period in October, but officials say many of them were eligible for existing state, federal or private programs. The Healthy Howard Initiative offers county residents basic care for as little as $50 per month. The program has room for up to 2,200 people and about 66 have enrolled and paid their fees. Health officials believe more than 15,000 county residents lack health coverage.

Some crisis - more goo-goo thinking. The fact liberals cannot abide is that there are not people dying in the streets without health insurance of some type, from Medicaid to private policies. To prove compassion in this extremely well-off county, the poor are essentially imported and treated to these sorts of perks.
