Jindal Wants To Privatize Health Insurance Program For State Workers
Governor Bobby Jindal is pitching his bid to privatize a health insurance program for state workers as a fight against government-run health care, equating it to his opposition to President Barack Obama's health overhaul. Jindal says that he doesn't think Louisiana should be in the business of running a health insurance program. The idea faces significant opposition from some lawmakers and current and retired state employees.
