What's Arnold Up to Now?
January 12, 2007
My man Arnold Schwarzenegger has upset the apple cart once again. Now, he's going against his Republican colleagues and suggesting that California is rich enough to offer all 36 million of its residents - legal and illegal - health insurance. Anti-immigrant groups don't like the idea. They say the plan will cost much more than the $12 billion that the governor's experts have estimated. Some other states - such as New Jersey, Maine, and Illinois - have similar programs already in place for children ... and they are working. But California has the largest population of uninsured children - more than 750,000, according to The New York Times. "Everyone in California must have health insurance," Schwarzenegger said.
