Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement after meeting privately with Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojevich regarding health care reform:

 

“Fixing our broken health care system is a top priority for me and I am pleased that Gov. Blagojevich shares this same goal.  Thanks to the attention that states – like California and Illinois – have given to health care reform, it is encouraging that the federal government is discussing ways to complement states’ efforts to lower health care costs. I look forward to working with Governor Blagojevich on this critical issue.”
