John Kerry Sponsors 7/31 Faneuil Hall Health Care “Dialogue”
US Sen. John Kerry is sponsoring a health care dialogue at Boston’s Fanueil Hall on July 31 at 12 noon.
I can't find any information about this at the John Kerry site, but if you go, please post about your experience.
John Kerry's Democratic opponent, Ed O'Reilly has endorsed a single payer system.

In Health Care Reform, Massachusetts Shows How Not To Do It
The problem was that the assembly was not allowed to consider Canadian-style single-payer health care—which would eliminate private insurance companies—as an option. It was off the table.
So a new bureaucracy was established, the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Board, with broad powers to set rates, approve cut-rate private policies, and define affordability.
Subsidies are offered on a sliding scale for those earning up to 300 percent of the federal poverty line (about $63,000 for a family of four). Those earning below the line are covered free.
The tangle of private insurance companies, with their expensive bureaucracies and profits, remains in place.
