Now that he’s making up yet another excuse to veto health care reform, it seems obvious that Gov. Douglas has never had any intention of signing onto ANY health care reform bill that the Democrats or Republicans or anyone would possibly come up with. Ever. This is from a press release that came out of Speaker Symington’s office today:

The Governor wanted a cap on enrollment.  He got it.
The Governor wanted a private insurance product. He got it.
The Governor wanted the risk to be on the private insurer. He got it.
The Governor wanted his Employer Sponsored Insurance plan. He got it.
The Governor wanted a 4year phase-in of employer assessments. He got it.
The Governor wanted a less aggressive assumption about growth in spending and savings. He got it.
The Governor wanted a second look at the process of seeking letters of intent if insurance companies don’t submit them. He got it.
The Governor wanted a higher bar before triggering consideration of mandatory insurance. He got it.
The Governor wanted 36 hours to consider the bill. He got 48.

The question is, will voters finally “get it” that he doesn’t care one whit about health care reform, or anything other than his own re-election?
