at least the governator has medical insurance

and a doctor that is taking patients....

gov. arnold schwarzenegger will skip plans to attend the lake tahoe summit today and go to a doctor's appointment instead.

spokesman matt david said the governor recently tore his meniscus, the cartilage that acts as a shock absorber in the knee.

the republican governor is expected to learn what treatment he may need for the injury, which he suffered while working out. - sacto bee

...the former bodybuilder-actor-turned politician, who turned 61 last month, has suffered numerous physical injuries over the years, most recently when he shattered his femur during a skiing accident in 2006.

the seven-time mr. olympia also has had a hip and a heart valve replaced and had
rotator cuff surgery in 2003. he also suffered several broken ribs in a 2001
motorcycle crash and had to have 15 stitches following another motorcycle crash
in 2006. - sfgate
millions of "kalifornians" are wishing they could afford to see a doctor even once.

They could try and help him with that... I'm not sure he could be able to hear them (age probably) but the chances that he could hear and do something in their favor would no doubt be improved if they were all from a political party that he felt strongly towards....or maybe they could prescribe some large monetary donations to a few of his friends,err I mean campaign funds..
But you know...they are probably all Democrats and so he wouldn't listen...too much like listening to in-laws.

You somehow have forgotten, that Schwarzenegger was normal boy from Austrian village and he worked very hard on himself to get higher, so you shouldn't be jealous - isn't that the American dream? Despite I am watching McCain/Obama health care battle closely (we are selling in Toronto term life health insurance too and your reform may influence Canadian system...) I don't know about Sch. attitude to McCain's "reform", anyway, I always considered Arnold a bit "rebel" among republicans...
