title: Legislating better access. States and national organizations ready their own proposals as solving the national uninsured crisis takes center stage.
abstract: With little action from Congress, increasingly states and national groups are addressing the uninsured crisis. Last week California became the latest to join the cause, with a bold plan from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. "It's very clear that substantial movement on healthcare insurance is in the air and in the news," says Richard Cauchi, left, of the National Conference of State Legislatures.
