Richard Moore says every child in North Carolina will have health insurance if he becomes governor.

Actually, he says "when" he becomes governor, because that's how candidates talk.

Interesting: the web video and his health insurance page pit him not against his Dem-primary deathmatch opponent, Bev Perdue, or any of the small-fry NC Republicans he might steamroller in the general election, but George W. Bush.

His blog says "This morning, I delivered a major health care policy speech before the AFL-CIO where I called for universal health care coverage for our children. I am proud to be the first North Carolina gubernatorial candidate to put forward a health care plan."

Beckwith's got some details, but I couldn't find a copy of the plan on the website -- anyone see it?

UPDATE: Here it is.

As someone at my place said, "it's not a plan, it's a subsidy."

There nothing new here except a candidate describing something that's already been proposed by a dozen others.
