The Standard Examiner had an interesting editorial this morning about President Bush and his expansion of the medical clinics in the United States. (See Here).
The editorial was obviously very pro-President Bush, however I was surprised it made no mention to the President's Secretary of Health and Human Services—Former Governor Mike Leavitt. I think it hard to put all of the success of the creation and expansion of medical clinics in the United States without giving some credit to our former Governor. Personally I saw Mr. Leavitt on C-Span a couple of times talking with Congress or other American Citizens. I was very impressed with how he took charge of his job. From where I sit, Governor Leavitt had a much bigger role in expanding and creating more medical clinic than the President did. Any program of such magnitude would more than likely have originated in the HHS office and then proposed to the President. Any legislation, regarding funding, would have been written by people who worked in the HHS office in connection with legislators. The Standard Examiner editorial missed an opportunity to not only praise the President but to praise Utah's former Governor for his accomplishments too.
On that same note, the Deseret News had a nice piece on Gov. Leavitt and his future. (See Here)
