Calif. governor proposes universal health plan: NewsTarget.com
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced Monday a proposal to expand the state's health coverage plan to include nearly all of the 6.5 million uninsured by distributing the extra cost among insurers, hospitals, individuals, doctors, businesses and the government.
The plan -- which would provide insurance coverage for all children, regardless of their immigration status -- is expected to spark opposition from the medical profession, as well as many employers and unions, though the governor outlined incentives for each contributing party.
Schwarzenegger's plan requires all Californians to have health insurance, though the poorest citizens' insurance would be subsidized.
