If Dirigo Health is such a great plan, I would like to know why the governor and Maine state legislators are not signing up for this great insurance plan? That does not even go to say why the state workers and the teachers association employees are not lining up to sign onto this.

I am a firm believer that if you are going to be in the business of selling something to the public, you first need to be a client of the product. If you are going to tell others how good a product is and be believable, you have to use it and know for a fact how well it performs.

Until the governor announces that he and the legislators are enrolled in Dirigo, I feel they need to stop advertising this plan.

Until the school union representatives come forward and state publicly that all their members are going on the plan, then they should not be endorsing Dirigo.

And finally, until all media employees are enrolled in Dirigo and satisfied that it is a good plan, then I feel it is the media’s job to cover the stories in an unbiased fashion and report the good with the bad. Why is it I only see Op-Eds by the supporters of Dirigo and seldom, if at all, any articles from those who oppose the plan?
