Ellicott City, Md. (AP) - Democratic gubernatorial candidate Martin O'Malley rolled out one more part of his health care plan Wednesday.
He is proposing that Maryland make a state-sponsored purchasing pool to cut premiums for owners of small businesses who offer health insurance to their employees.
The announcement came one day after Anthony Brown, O'Malley's lieutenant governor organization mate, talked about proposals to cut prescription drug costs for Marylanders.
The O'Malley campaign cited a Kaiser Family Foundation study viewing that 61 percent of Marylanders get health insurance from their employers.
O'Malley says statistics given by the United States Census Bureau explain that the number of Marylanders without health insurance increased from approximately 650,000 in March 2002 to 810,000 last March.
