Senate plan helps teachers without hurting others

Insurance for all
Re: May 13 editorial :
"Teachers and public school employees will get a state-supported health insurance plan. That is certain. What has yet to be decided is whether they will drive away in a Cadillac or a Chevrolet."
This leaves 5 million Texans driving Yugos, because they do not have any health insurance but are forced to pay for the health insurance of state employees.
"Health Care For All Texans" endorses a comprehensive health care system that would guarantee:
* Access to affordable, quality health care without regard to income, employment or health status.
* Freedom to choose their doctors and other health professionals.
* Participation in a comprehensive, age-specific, quality health benefits package.
