Possibly the biggest news of the coming of civilisation to the USA, adn no other thread about it? Or am I missing it?

Isn't it odd how this particular Republican turns up every so often on the left of the Democrats?

Was he a mole?

He's married to a member of the Kennedy clan.

Remember, bedfellows make strange politics.

If he can do it I have no excuses..Thanks for getting my tail in gear.

Well, there's an awful lot of room there. Including virtually the whole political spectrum in England (and most of those are pretty right-wing!)

Having been King of Aquilonia before he was Governor of California, he learned to bypass a lot of the political crap you run into in a democracy.

Cut through the red tape with a broadsword? I'll have to look for some info as I haven't heard anything about this. California is a long way from here, and I haven't listened to hours of CNN since... last night.

Well, I haven't heard about this health care initiative but Arnold ain't yer grandfather's Republican... He ain't too sure what he is but, hey, that don't much matter...

He's a wus... Yeah, his ol' lady plays him like a violin and he is so unaware that he thinks that he is thinking of this stuff...

Go, Maria...

We expect no less from our Governor than to design the future of America, just ahead of the curve. It is no small responsibility.

I have a friend who is in the nitty-gritty of what politicians and regular folks are figuring out on how to improve health care for all. She attended a high level conference in CA and met with Arnold. My friend is a real Democrat and no newbie to politics. She's been involved in some way in most elections ever run in WY and then some. She is well-travelled and educated. Anyway, she found him to be a remarkable man who expressed himself very well. She is a tough nut to crack, but she left knowing that he has some good plans and she saw some real hope for everyone when he gets his plan into action. With the respect I have for my friend and her savvy, I pay attention when I hear about him and his programs/actions.

Shame he can't actually hold that office though... or have you changed the rules about Presidents being Americans by birth?

Well, perhaps spawned would be the better term in his case.

The Goobernator's plan would require every Californian to buy health insurance. From the insurance companies.

Anyone else see a problem with that?

Cheers,
Michael

well - making it illegal to not carry health insurance (such as massachusetts did) doesn't mean that people can **afford** the insurance - therefore you end up with a catch-22 situation...because the companies can still refuse you based on non-payment.

I thought most of his finance was due to come from a tax on smokers?

Will the premia be set by the insurance companies, or will they be flat-rate like "National Insurance"?

Will they be covered by the state for those who can claim benefits?
