- Mississippi Agrees To Health Care Trust Fund
- The Mississippi legislature yesterday, March 25, 1999, agreed to create a trust
fund with money from the state's multi-billion dollar tobacco
settlement.
The state will only spend interest from the fund,
estimated at $50 million a year.
The fund will pay for
children's health insurance, trauma care and a variety of other
causes. The agreement must be approved by the legislature
before being sent to Gov. Kirk Fordice.
