Georgia s healthcare another Perdue flop is a great opinion piece. He gets to the core...
More important than that, the Grady crisis stands as just another reminder that Georgia has taken a sharp turn down the wrong path on one more quality-of-life issue: health care.
And then points out the main problem, that of current leadership...
Our state leaders stand mute as Grady sinks from sight. They are too preoccupied with trying to determine how many more children they can deprive of health-care insurance. While other states are working to make health coverage available to every child, Georgia's current leadership is worse than silent - they are hostile to the idea.
Indeed, just a few years back, Georgia was not satisfied to rival other New South states like North Carolina and Virginia. We were determined to position ourselves to lead the nation. Now we are content to fade into the backwaters of states that have been left behind, like Mississippi and Louisiana.
Our mantra is no longer to lead; it is to settle.
When Gov. Sonny Perdue junketed to Europe recently, he told reporters that Georgia's economy was much like booming Ireland's.
Poor guy, he must have lost his bearings. Or else he can't tell the difference between Ireland and Alabama.
