California health reform debate enters new phase after veto
Washington — California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger moved the state’s health system reform debate into a new, possibly lengthy phase, in October when he vetoed the Democrats’ bill and offered a legislative proposal of his own.
The governor, a Republican, and leading Democrats have been working on competing Men’s health care measures for months and still could reach an agreement this year. But observers said it’s possible that the governor’s 200-page bill could require months’ more work through the formal legislative process. An informational hearing on his proposal was scheduled for Oct. 31.
