Jeremy Haroldson claimed that he knows people who rejected higher paying jobs so that they wouldn't lose subsidized health care."Please hear me right, I want people to have the ability to have healthcare, I understand this need. But if we're not careful we will create a golden handcuff that will keep and hold people in poverty," said HaroldsonHouse Health and Labor Committee Chair Sue Wilson said it's worked well in many other states and added that there is a need for the program in Wyoming."We've done a lot of research on this. After ten years of trying to come up with plan B, I see no plan B," Wilson said. "But I do see people come through the Labor Committee with serious, serious needs...people in your communities. And we haven't come up with a better answer."The bill now heads to the Senate, where a similar bill died on the floor without a hearing earlier this week.Bob Beck has been News Director of Wyoming Public Radio since 1988.
