But don’t worry – he wants to make sure that you cough up your own hard-earned cash to pay for a government insurance scheme that will give many Americans worse coverage than they already have.

New York state has fined the personal corporation of Democratic Senate candidate Al Franken $25,000 for not carrying workers'-compensation insurance for almost three years.

The New York Workers' Compensation Board levied the fine against Alan Franken Inc. in August 2006 for failure to carry the insurance from June 2002 to March 2005.

Brian Keegan, a board spokesman, said a number of notices were sent to the address the New York agency had listed for Franken. But the TV personality and liberal political commentator didn't become aware of the fine until Tuesday, said campaign spokesman Andy Barr.

Three years of failure to pay for the insurance, and 18 months of failing to pay the fine. Could you imagine the media outrage – and left-wing rants – if this were Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity? But the outcry of the MSM chatterers and liberal pols has been quite subdued. After all, it is one of their own who has been caught.
