What a presidential candidate says (or has said) on the stump matters a great deal. But what a presidential canddiate actually does (or has done) in office matters, too. It is in that spirit we take note of two recent reports about the status of health care in Vermont, where Howard Dean was governor from 1991 until 2002.
Goes on to laud Dean's efforts to provide health insurance in his state and the second report is about Vermont's mental health parity laws--Dean consistently pushed for regulations which guarantee equal coverage for psychiatric and physical aliments--and eventually signed
one of the nations most comprehsive purity laws.
