Health bill heads to questionable future
Rep. Tom Huntley
Minnesota lawmakers passed a massive health-care spending bill that favors nursing homes and programs for the poor, but may be short-lived.
The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party-led Legislature on Monday advanced the health and human services budget bill that Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s administration says spends more than the state can afford.
It faces a likely veto with less than a week remaining before the Legislature’s constitutional deadline.
