Dan Walters' Capitol Q&A

Question: There is a lot of interest in health care reform this year. How is SB840 faring? Will the supporters of this bill be able to override a veto if necessary?
-- Rodney Mara, Stockton

Answer: While a single-payer health care system (SB840) is favored by most Democrats, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger rejects it, and if that's the only health care bill that reaches his desk, he'll probably veto it and the veto would no doubt be sustained. He's seeking a hyrbrid system in which the state is only indirectly involved.
