Health care reform...

...may have to be accomplished at the state level:

Democrats in California revived a bill on Thursday that would create a single-payer, universal health care system in the state.

The bill is not the first attempt to set up a single-payer system in California, which has some 6.5 million uninsured. Two previous single-payer bills were passed by the legislature in recent years, only to be vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who tried and failed to establish his own universal health care plan at the start of his second term in 2007.

Massachusetts and Hawaii have already passed health care reform; maybe California will be next.
