Kinder's broken promises on kid's health care

In the coming weeks, watch for Peter Kinder to weigh in on the health care debate to anyone who will listen.

As he rails against government sponsored health care, some enterprising reporter ought to ask Kinder about his own misadventure in making big promises to provide affordable health care insurance outside of government... and then falling flat on his face.

In 1997, Kinder and two Senate colleagues started a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing affordable health care coverage to children.

Kinder filed the not-for-profit's Articles of Incorporation, served on its Board of Directors and even listed his Capitol suite as the corporation's registered office.

But not a single child was ever covered through Kinder's alternative to government run health care.  His not-for-profit corporation was administratively dissolved in 1998 after Kinder stopped filing required reports.

And now he thinks its good enough for everyone.
