On health care, which Bush largely ignored during his five years in office, Gore notes that the ranks of uninsured poor have increased during the Governor's tenure and that Bush tried to restrict the number of children covered by government-funded health insurance. In a befuddling reversal for a campaign so conditioned to cheering Bush's Texas record, a spokesman last week tried to deflect attacks on that record by saying the campaign would be focusing on the future and not the past...

These contracts are worked out with personal attorneys and don't usually have to be filed in court, so it's impossible to determine exactly how widespread they are.
