Good News


The news, almost by definition, is news that will bum you out. Good news is seldom interesting enough to get mentioned on TV or the radio, but consider this minor non-Republican effort.

The Healthy San Francisco program, passed in 2006, offers care to uninsured adults not covered by Medi-Cal or Medicare. It now covers about 53,000 people.

San Francisco restaurant owners have appealed to the California Supreme Court to block having to pay for part of the costs of the program. The Obama administration's lawyers filed arguments last week urging the Supreme Court to reject this appeal.
