No sob story from me, I am completely satisfied with my current health care coverage. All these schemes to cover everybody scare the daylights out of me. I DO NOT agree that health care reform is urgently needed. Universal coverage is a bad plan where costs will go up and benefits will surely go down. The State of California has historically done poorly in virtually every endeavor it attempts, from the DMV to collecting from dead-beat dads, to you name it. Keep the bureaucrats out of health care! |
 There is Widespread Support for Reform
 81% of voters agree with the statement "it should be public policy that government guarantee that all Californians have access to affordable health care insurance or other health care coverage."

  HMO premiums rose nearly 50 percent between 1997 and 2002. The cost of employer-based health care continues to outpace both inflation and wage growth.
