Editorial: State Needs Voice in Federal Health Reform Efforts

A San Jose Mercury News editorial argues that California needs to be part of national health care reform efforts. It adds that "the president and members of Congress could learn useful lessons from Schwarzenegger's failed attempt to make 2007 'the year of health care.'" It concludes, "Having failed to solve this problem on its own, California needs to be part of the solution that Obama hopes to craft."
