Guv Willing To Call Special Health Care Session
John Meyers
Capitol Notes (KQED)
The fact that only there are only 16 days left on the 2007 legislative calendar has a lot of Capitol watchers wondering whether the year's big policy issue -- health care reform -- can actually be pulled off in time.
Maybe so. But nonetheless, Governor Schwarzenegger told me today he's willing to call the Legislature back into a special session after mid-September, so that legislators could have more time to craft a health care proposal.
The governor made the comment after a late morning speech at a health care rally sponsored by the AARP.
Schwarzenegger said he would do so "if we need it." But then he added: "I think we have a shot to get it done before the session is over. If everyone has the will, I think we can get it done."
