Frederica Freyberg:
From the U.S. economy to health care, former U.S. Secretary of Health Tommy Thompson, who says he still hasn't made up his mind about running for Wisconsin office, was back in the state this week. He spoke at the Forward Award conference in Madison on Wednesday. Did we mention he still hasn't made up his mind about running for office? He is still working on his own ideas to reform health care.  

Tommy Thompson:
I've got a plan that can insure everybody. Put it out for competition like we did on part D for Medicare. Let everybody come in and bid on it, no matter where you are. Health insurance? You'd have every insurance company that's in the health care arena bidding on it. You get a lot of bidders? What happens? It drives down the premiums. For those under 135 percent of premium, give them enough money to buy the health insurance from one of these contractors. Can you imagine how much money we would save? And can you imagine everybody would be covered with health insurance? And it would save billions of dollars. You know, just a common sense solution. Common sense solution from Wisconsin to solve health care.  

Frederica Freyberg:
The former governor is excited about it.
