I still think La. spends way too much on healthcare. Other larger states manage on much, much less.
One interesting point here is that back in the 80's Governor Mike Foster brought Jindal (the boy wonder) INTO his cabinet specifically to sort out the disastrous healthcare system in LA at the time. He did a bang-up job on it and righted the sinking healthcare ship. He was a smart guy, no question, and did a damn fine job. How did healthcare get so outta whack during his tenure? He's the guy who fixed it! Wha hoppened?!
