Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez pleads with the Democratic members of the Senate Health Committee in an opinion piece published today on the California Progress Report, a liberal Web site.
"The health care reform bill the Assembly approved in December is within hours of either making history or being killed in the State Senate. Killing AB 1x would be a victory for tobacco companies, the insurance industry and the shameful status quo. That makes this a good time for a gut check," the speaker writes.
He goes on to say, "I honestly don’t know what the Senate is going to."
