Universal Access in California?

Health care and the states The federalist prescription Economist.com: "Arnold Schwarzenegger, California's governor, this week announced a plan that could change the terms of America's health-care debate. The Republican in charge of the country's most populous state, where 6.5m people, almost one resident in five, lack medical insurance, said he wants to introduce universal health-care coverage.
His recipe is a combination of insurance-market reform, government subsidies and—most important—compulsion. “Everyone in California must have insurance,” Mr Schwarzenegger argued. “If you can't afford it, the state will help you buy it, but you must be insured.”"
