Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the individual insurance requirement at the heart of President Barack Obama's health care law, what will be the impact in California? Host Scott Shafer talks with experts on California health care about the ruling and its potential impact in California from legal, political, business, consumer and health provider perspectives.
California has already launched a number of programs related to the federal reform, and thus has a big stake in the ruling.
