Deeming waiting list a bother, Republicans plan to discard it

TALLAHASSEE - For weeks, Democrats have urged Gov. Jeb Bush and Republican legislative leaders to eliminate a waiting list for a popular children's health insurance program.

Senate Republicans want to do just that, but not the way Democrats had hoped.

Under a plan to be unveiled today, the state no longer would maintain a waiting list for the Healthy Kids program. Children who can't enroll would simply try again later.

"What we don't want is that pressure of lists building and building and building with the false hope that these kids are going to get state help if they can't," Senate President Jim King told the St. Petersburg Times editorial board Monday.

The image of tens of thousands of children waiting to get health insurance because lawmakers capped enrollment last year has been a sizable political headache for Gov. Jeb Bush and the Republican-controlled Legislature.
