Re: Unintended Consequences of Obama Halfway Healt (2.00 / 1)

I know Obama favors single-payer, but we can't get there in one giant leap.

I call BS on that. He talked in favor of single-payer back when he was a state senator in a very progressive district, but now he has completely run away from that position, even to the extent of falsely denying that he ever did support single payer as a viable approach to health-care reform.

HR 676 (none / 0)

we can get there in one single leap, we already have 78 sponsors.

Re: HR 676 (2.00 / 1)

Which means that we are only 140 votes shy.

I'm all in favor of single-payer, but it's never going to pass in our lifetimes -- and certainly not if Obama is President since he will do nothing to advocate it, or even genuine UHC.

Then a LOT of people are going to have to move (none / 0)

out of the country. Because they can't afford to live here anymore.

Maybe that's what they want.
