The state Health Benefit Exchange board made an important decision this week. It reversed a vote that hurt V-S-P, the big vision health plan based in Rancho Cordova.

Jack Robinson with the Business Journal says now V-S-P plans to hire more workers as a result.

The decision was not a surprise - it was clear last week that the exchange and the company had reached an agreement. But it is important. Along with some other news that came out of that meeting on Tuesday, this shows that health care reform is shifting into high gear here in California.
