Legislators ask Governor's team to collaborate in expanding children's health insurance

The sponsors of House and Senate bills that would provide affordable health care coverage to all the state's children have asked the Palin administration to work with them on the subject. The Governor's Health Care Strategies Planning Council has set as its mission, "To develop strategies, including performance measures, to provide health care access to all Alaskans by 2014." Anchorage Senator Bill Wielechowski says the Council and his pending legislation are pointing the same way.Dave Donaldson, APRN - Juneau (read by Lori Townsend, APRN)
