Universal health care plan approved in San Francisco

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to make the city the nation's first to provide all residents with health care, approving a plan that would give adults access to medical services regardless of their immigration or employment status.

This is huge. Yes, it's only San Francisco, but universal health care needs to start somewhere.

This should increase the pressure for California to pass its health care bills (and force Arnold to veto them.) And hopefully, this will help the Medicare for kids bills in congress.
