California governor calls for state healthcare reforms.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) called for reforms to address the woes of the uninsured and healthcare inflation at the Catholic Health Association's yearly meeting. The governor's "$14.4 billion plan to overhaul healthcare in California cleared the state's Assembly in December, but died in the Senate Health Committee the following month." He said that "without action, the [healthcare] situation...will only worsen."
