WISCONSIN FARMERS UNITE FOR CO-OP HEALTH CARE

This article, dated February 22nd, comes from the Appleton Post-Crescent of Appleton, Wisconsin.

Eighteen percent of Wisconsin dairy farmers are without health insurance. Many more who grow food in that state are in a similar situation. A program set up by the Wisconsin Federation of Cooperatives (WFC) aims to solve this problem by providing an insurance plans for these farmers. Recent laws passed by the state government opened the door for this unique plan.

When government sometimes does things right for a change, it deserves praise. So credit is due to Jim Doyle and the Wisconsin legislature and the WFC for giving their farmers a leg up in getting health insurance. It is pro-Distributist in nature and deserves our thanks.

Now if only something like this can be done for other Americans in their home states by their own resources, without both the Socialists and “Big Medicine” supporters in Washington DC messing things up.
