Schwarzenegger To Call Special Session On Health Care
Associated Press
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Monday he will call a special session of the state Legislature to deal with health care, as lawmakers considered a Democratic plan he has pledged to veto.
The state Senate passed that plan, known as AB8, on a 22-17 vote and sent it to the Assembly a few hours after the governor announced his intention.
Health care is the governor's top priority this year, and the special session would buy time for him to strike a deal with Democrats on how to cover millions of uninsured Californians.
The regular legislative session is scheduled to end this week, and the two sides remain at odds.
