Democratic City Councilman Tom Hayhurst officially kicked off his challenge of 3rd District Rep. Mark Souder yesterday (he will have Primary opposition, but that's a mere technicality). Ominously, he said his top priority if elected would be "affordable health care." That can mean anything, of course, but here's a hint, from a newspaper story in Warsaw back in December: "He labeled the new Medicare program as a 'step in the right direction,' but said complications stemming from gaps in coverage are a concern." Souder voted for that monstrosity, and Hayhurst's main concern is that there are gaps; wasn't enough help, I guess. Hang on, fans of the free market; it's going to be a bumpy ride.
