Perata on health care reform

It almost sounded as if Don Perata was endorsing the health care reform bill at his budget press conference today. Noting that the bill is now in the Senate, he said it would be taken up and, he assumed "acted on." He said they might make some changes, but not in the financing part of the plan, which is headed for the ballot in an initiative, the language for which has already been submitted to the attorney general. And he said the best thing about the proposal is that it allows the voters to make the final decision at the polls. Sounds like he is assuming that they will get the chance.
