Now, many of the policy advocates who have spent months working on healthcare bills are starting to panic. The window of opportunity for the state to change its healthcare system in a meaningful way is rapidly closing, they say.

Robert Phillips, senior program officer with the nonprofit California Endowment, is imploring lawmakers to continue working on healthcare reform despite the lack of a budget.

"Every day they have this impasse it serves as an excuse to avoid making hard choices they need to make to deal with broad healthcare reform," he said.

But such calls for action are largely being ignored.

I LOVE gridlock. The Democrats' extremism is helping to kill Red Arnold's big government agenda. Socialized medicine is down the toilet. So is the Democrat agenda. All because the Democrats are bitterly opposed to a balanced budget. It couldn't happen to a more deserving party.
