Schwarzenegger Health Insurance Plan Falls Short
According to SF Gate, the cost of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's health insurance plan proposal to make health coverage more accessible in California may have been underestimated by as much as $3 billion a year.
Schwarzenegger's proposal requires California residents to have health insurance and mandates employers with 10 or more workers to either provide health insurance or pay a state tax.
The new plan, which will cost $12 million, aims to cover 6.5 million uninsured Californians. But the number of uninsured may have been underestimated, and the new plan didn't take into account the possibility that a portion of federal money may not be approved.
Though some parts of the proposal had been criticized, Senator Darrell Steinberg says, "There seems to be a spoken or unspoken compact among everyone interested in this not to give up the points of disagreement but to find a way to make this work."
That's good news, because making medical coverage more accessible is an important issue in America.
