  5. When government does things better than private enterprise

    Budget discussions in Washington these days always seem to deteriorate into arguments over what government is supposed to do for its citizens, and what should be left aside. Is the reach of government strictly defined in the Constitution? Or tradition? And, if so, whose "tradition"?

  6. Joining the EPA's war on soot

    Lisa Jackson, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, did not produce the record some had hoped for, as she was continually held back from her ambitious regulatory plans by business and political opponents. And even her last major action &mdash; she announced last week that she is leaving her post &mdash; is overdue but still welcome. The EPA is demanding of local governments a <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-epa-tightens-standards-for-soot-pollution-20121214%2C0%2C2930521.story">20% reduction in soot emissions.</a> If it is successful in producing those results, the new standards will save thousands of lives and reduce the nation's healthcare costs by billions of dollars. The new rule is particularly important to Southern and Central California, where cleaning up soot emissions will be particularly challenging.

  12. Keeping California's kids healthy

    In a bid to cut the state's healthcare bills, the Brown administration will begin shuttering the Healthy Families insurance program for low-income children on Jan. 1. More than 850,000 kids will be shifted over the course of the year into HMOs that participate in Medi-Cal, California's version of the federally subsidized Medicaid program. It may be too late now for the Legislature to rescue Healthy Families from its untimely and potentially disruptive end, even though lawmakers are heading to Sacramento on Monday to begin a special session devoted to healthcare issues. But state lawmakers and federal Medicaid officials should do as much as they can to ensure that these children's parents won't be left scrambling desperately to find a doctor or a dentist when their kids need one.
