In yesterday’s post, I worried about whether California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger would follow through on his promise to veto a single‐​payer health care bill in that state. It now appears that he will do so. That’s good news for the people of California. But the fact that the nation’s largest state came so close to a government‐​run health care system should serve as a wake up call. Unless health care is reformed in a free market direction, a government takeover is only a matter of time.
