but here’s the official list of all the representatives who co-sponsored hr 676

also, i didn’t see sherrrod brown on that list, but he’s pro-single-payer too.

that will give material for Saturday’s post

Single-payer is not to be confused with universal coverage, which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both support. In fact, in a recent debate, when Clinton raised the issue of single-payer, the audience interrupted with applause. She immediately countered, “I know a lot of people favor (it), but for many reasons (it) is difficult to achieve.”

how many reasons? how about the 200,000+ employees or the $200 billion in revenue last year? and that’s just the top 13 companies according to forbes.

we spent $2.3 trillion total on health care in the u.s. last year. what industry in its right mind would let itself be kept away from that pie?

i wasn’t especially taken with john edwards at first, but he won my vote when he said “if you let them have a seat at the table, they’ll eat all the food” and “if congress hasn’t passed universal health care 6 months after i’m elected, i’ll take their health insurance benefits away.” nothing like having a candidate who knows exactly where to place the blame: on the lobbyists with too much money and the congresspersons with not enough spine [or not enough brains, maybe].

here, please do steal anything if you find it useful. i’m starting to feel about health care the way you feel about which candidate to vote for.
