Voters cool to gov.'s idea to charge doctors and hospitals - Los Angeles Times: "Turns out Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger faces a tough sell convincing not only doctors and hospitals they should pay higher taxes to help finance universal healthcare. Californians from other walks of life also think it's a bad idea. 'It's a stupid idea,' says Claire Fitzmaurice of Irvine, a retired accountant. 'Listen, they're not going to be paying. They're just going to add it on. And patients are going to pay the fee.'"
