SACRAMENTO—Democrats plan to put their health reform bill to a vote next week, setting the stage for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to veto it and force lawmakers to stay in town to work toward a deal. The governor has not yet called the special session, but both Democratic leaders said they were expecting it and would cooperate. The regular legislative session ends next week. "We're having good conversations," Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, D-Los Angeles, told The Associated Press after meeting with Schwarzenegger on Friday. "Health care is a very complex matter. We're doing the best we can to get an agreement." Democrats continued tweaking their bill Friday evening in preparation for a vote as soon as Tuesday.
