Maryland Health Care

Well, Maryland has pushed through, over the Governor's veto, the bill requiring large retailers (although in effect, only Wal-Mart) to chip in a bit more for the States health care costs. See this in the NYT. Some (see Jonathan Cohn) are arguing that this is better politics than policy. I'm not so sure that it isn't good at both. I certainly hope that it indicates some new movement on the health care front. It is also interesting to see that Ehrlich's position is somewhat weakening.
