Health care is a touchy subject these days. As Obamacare flags under Pelosi and Reid's whipping, California's own senator Mark Leno has finally gotten SB 810 Calfornia Universal Health Care Act to pass the State Senate Appropriations Committee (6 to 3) and it is now waiting to be voted on again, probably in the spring.
We'll discuss SB810 in great detail in another post, but it's clear that the subject of health care ignites the emotions of many Americans for many different reasons. Some are committed to the vision of universal health care, some are committed to a market-based solution, most are afraid of losing what they have for some shiny cheap new toy that will show its structural cracks within minutes of actually getting played with.
This current debate is a perfect opportunity to DO something to our current system, but let's be sure that in all the heat we don't lose sight of the end game: we need improvements, not just changes.
