Abstract

This Just In" piece on a statewide effort to get a publicly funded health care referendum on the November 2008 ballot. Former Green party gubernatorial candidates Jonathan Carter and Pat LaMarche, along with former Democratic candidate Chris Miller, are leading the referendum drive. Organizers cite the Maine Health Care Reform Commission's (MHCRC) 1995 report as a model for the plan, though they declined to offer further details at this point. The MHCRC warned that the plan is economically, legally, and politically untenable at the individual state level.
