California Gov. Schwarzenegger Vetoes Democrats' Health Care Overhaul Bill

This one was also expected to prompt a special session of the legislature to continue working on the health care bill..BD

In vetoing the measure, Schwarzenegger said, "This bill does not achieve coverage for all -- a critical step needed to reduce health care costs for everyone." He added that the bill "places an unreasonable financial burden on businesses" (Los Angeles Times, 10/13). In a statement, the governor said, "The time is now for all of us to return to the negotiating table, find middle ground and pass the comprehensive reforms we need to fix our broken health care system."
