No other policy sells patients health care coverage that promises so much yet delivers so little.

It's obviously an investment that they're expecting significant return on.

We know that Santa Monica had been in contact with Pasadena to see how the task force came back. And there has been some interest from Council member (Bobby) Shriver in bringing something similar to Santa Monica.

Patients aren't doctors. Patients don't have medical knowledge. It's (the doctor's) job to find out what's wrong with you. It's their responsibility, not the patient's.

I think it?s a pretty big step forward. What this change means is Pasadena has jumped leaps and bounds beyond Santa Monica in enacting the initiative.

By putting on another's skin, I have a sense of what it's like to be black.
