Would you vote for a governer running for president who previously supported various state medical initiatives?
Calvin Coolidge did when he was governor of Mass. Then he was one of the most fiscal, minimalist presidents of the 20th century.
Not if the Governor wanted to turn it into a national program as president.
I think we are so shell-shocked by big government we forget what states should be doing for themselves and what the federal government has no business meddling with. If a state even has state-run healthcare - and it works and they can pay for it - I have no problem with it at all. The Libertarian in me screams "STATES RIGHTS!"
