Introduced by Rep. Lorence Wenke (R) on September 13, 2005, to require prefunding of school employee post-retirement health care benefits, rather than the current “pay as you go” system. A new state investment fund would be created for the purpose. Presumably higher employer contributions would be required until this new fund has enough resources to cover anticipated future costs.
- Referred to the House Education Committee on September 13, 2005.

Who exactly are 'those in government' that you would like to pay for the programs? Do you mean the people who work for the government? They are mostly normal citizens working a 9-5. If you mean senators and congressmen then there is a little money there, at least at the national level. But at the end, there isn't anyone in the goverment who can pay for anything because the government doesn't have any money. Everything the government has is taken from the people, even the money used to pay your local Secretary of State clerk.

2) WHAT??? [by Anonymous Citizen on September 16, 2005]
Are you crazy, stupid, or just jokeing? Just who is going to pay for this? The taxpayers are getting riped off by the schools with the spending practices now. Just where are the schools going to get more money to pay for yet another added on expence? I think the people in government should pay for all of the added on expences that they try to impose on the taxpayers and let them see how it feels to pay for something that they should not have to pay for.
