Calif. health insurance measure defeated
A ballot measure that would have required some employers to pay the bulk of workers' health insurance was narrowly defeated, election officials said Wednesday after the final results were tallied.
Proposition 72, which was opposed by business leaders and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, failed 50.9 percent to 49.1 percent, the secretary of state's office reported. The measure was defeated by a margin of 202,854 votes.
