Stakes High for California in Health Care Reform - ABC News: "Among states, California arguably has the most to gain from an overhaul of its health care system: it has the greatest number of uninsured residents in the country and the largest public insurance program for the poor, which struggles to serve 6.5 million people while reimbursing doctors at one of the nation's lowest rates.
Stuck between the increasingly uncertain future of national reform, a looming $20 billion state budget deficit, and a health care system that is limping along and likely to face even greater demand in the coming years, Californians are frustrated. Doctors, patients, politicians and researchers all agree change is desperately needed, even if they disagree passionately on what that change should look like."
Maybe this is why Pelosi is pushing so hard for this? To help her state or face the consequences. ~~~ The Munz
