7. California's single-payer bill dies

California's single-payer dreams have been dashed again.

Legislation to create what would be the nation’s first government funded state-run health care system failed to get a vote Monday on the Assembly floor, effectively ending the push for single-payer this session.

High drama surrounding CA AB1400 (21R) by Assemblymember Ash Kalra (D-San Jose) had made it the highest-profile piece of legislation remaining from last year.

Kalra said the bill did not have enough votes on Monday, its deadline to clear the Assembly.
