Report: Giuliani Wants 'Individualized' Health Insurance
Republican presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani is preparing to lay out a health-care plan that would mark a significant change in how health insurance is paid for in the United States, the Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition on Wednesday. The proposal would also move the former New York City mayor's campaign beyond its signature security issue, the Journal said. The Giuliani campaign could not immediately be reached comment.
