Who Needs Liberal Media Bias?

The people who want Kentucky's baby step toward socialized medicine to pass took heart today from at least one item in the Lexington Herald-Leader's description of key bills in Frankfort.

The chart on page A16 describes HB 445 as one that "Makes health insurance more affordable for small businesses."

The trick is that the bill only makes coverage "more affordable" by subsidizing employer health plans with tax dollars. Why not call it the "Medicaid for Everyone" bill?
