The Democrats should have passed single payer by now. I'm so thoroughly disgusted with them.
Completely agreed! But this isn't about the Dems any more. It's about salvaging the best possible reform we can for ourselves. What is passing for politics right now isn't really getting us there, unfortunately.
I can't wait to read the Max Blumenthal book - I hear he tells us why the Republicans are still able to hold us hostage in the stone age.
