June 28 (Bloomberg) -- In 2007, Republican Senator Jim
DeMint of South Carolina sent a letter to President George W.
Bush.
DeMint said he would like to work with Bush to pass
legislation that would “ensure that all Americans would have
affordable, quality, private health coverage, while protecting
current government programs. We believe the health care system
cannot be fixed without providing solutions for everyone.
Otherwise, the costs of those without insurance will continue to
be shifted to those who do have coverage.”
