I really hope the People's Republic of Kalifornia pulls the universal health care stunt. 5th largest economy in the world right?

Let it fail miserably and socialism stamped out for good.

Look before you leap. The world would be a better place if more people did that.

Well, we can hope. But if you don't have your insurance put together now, don't wait any longer or your choices will be made in Congress.

But he might go for a scheme such as that in Massachusetts, where Republican Gov. Mitt Romney signed legislation from a heavily Democratic Legislature that mandates that residents acquire medical insurance and charges a fee – a tax, really – on companies that don't offer insurance, with the proceeds of that fee used to provide coverage.

Oh, Joy. Massachusetts socialism is certainly what we need to achieve the "California Dream." /s

"Already, on Nov.15, he called for halving the state's estimated 6 million uninsured residents."...Would that be legal or illegal residents?

His plans "are still being formulated by a special team of advisers."...Translated: The Dim's are searching for the means of passing on the cost of this "plan" to middle-class Californians.

we hope Gov. Schwarzenegger looks to his late mentor, Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman, and works to expand insurance coverage by making it easier for Californians to be "free to choose." ...

Indeed, one of our favorite sayings of Mr. Friedman is that, whenever something goes wrong, people first should look to see if the cause is some bad government policy that can be corrected.

I hope the Gov reads this! I haven't heard him mention Milton Friedman (other than maybe a few mandatory comments after Friedman's recent passing) or extoll Friedman's ideas for limited government, economic freedom, or personal liberties since the recall election in 2003.

At the rate the CA government is growing, faster than under Gray Davis while not even including all the scores of billions of dollars in bonds Gov Schwarzenegger promoted, Arnold seems to have forgotten completely about Friedman's theories for government.
