Without Arnold, we would end up with this monster.

[Uncle Hal]

Arnold had better veto this bill. I cannot believe he would be foolish enough to sign this bill after the global warming bill. There is no question he is taking the GOP vote as a given. Arnold is counting on the base figuring Phil would be far worse. Which is true of course.

[American Quilter]

Get out the big veto pen, Ahnuld.

[Carry_Okie]

If they didn't know the governor would veto it, it never would have passed.

This is just for show.

CO2 reduction, single payer healthcare (private insurance would be banned), minimum wage increase...California seems hellbent on suicide.

[John Jorsett]

If Phil Angelides wins, all of the crap Arnold is vetoing will be signed. California would become Sweden times two.

[sportutegrl]

I'm confused. What is "single-payer"? Is that some sort of code words for health insurance? It almost sounds like somebody is trying to hide something.

[ElkGroveDan]

Without Arnold, we would end up with this monster.

But we should happy that he is going to sign a dumbass so-called global warming bill that will decimate California's manufacturing and industry?

We should be happy that he's going to sign a driving while talking on cell-phones ban?

We should be happy that he's going to sign a smoking while driving ban?

We should be happy about the scores of other liberal Democrat nanny-state bills he's going to sign? Because boot-licking party-before-principle enablers like you have (wrongly) convinced him that Republicans will voter for him no matter what. So he feels free to act like the commie-socialist he really is.

This is a political strategy at play to put the Governor in a tight spot on a emotional issue in a election year, the legislature is smart enough to stand this controversial bill to a popular govenor who would probably veto it.

[Waco]

Will a Fed. Employee in Kali be allowed to opt out? He already has health ins. which he is charged a premium for. (Dumb ques.? Probably.)

[aculeus]

Translation: "single payer" = government.


We should object everytime this lie is repeated.

[Cymbaline]

Yet another reason to be glad I left California.

Those of you Freepers still trapped in the People's Republic of California, my prayers are with you.

[goldstategop]

Odds are good he'll sign one just like it next year. We're going to have Canada-style Medicare in this state's future.
