Schwarzenegger touts health care reform bills

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, at a ceremonial signing of legislation making California the first state to establish its own health insurance exchange, said this morning that the state is delivering on its promise of affordable and accessible health care.

The measure is part of the federal health care overhaul authorized this year.

Schwarzenegger said of criticism the reform is not perfect, "But what is?"

He said, "You have to compromise."

Schwarzenegger said health care is a "must" for everyone. He said the legislation moves California "one giant step" closer to that ideal.

Schwarzenegger signed the bills Thursday. He was in Los Angeles this morning to tout the measure.
