Message to Congressional Dems: Author up a single-payor health system bill and ram it through.

[roamer65]

Just do it.

Fuck 'em.

[griloco]

1. aren't all insurance companies single-payers for their policy holders? nt

[roamer65]

4. Extortion companies are "no-payor".

They're in the business of denying coverage to maximize profits.

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. Can I guess your next question?

"Aren't all Hawaiian Birth Certificates printed in Kenya?", right? :eyes:

[frogcycle]

12. aren't all streets one way?

[Oregone]

2. For all the "incrementalists", I ask, what difference does it really make?

All the nutbags are going to come out of the woodwork no matter what you do. Why shove something through while trying to appease these idiots?

3. There already is one. HR 676.

:hi: roamer65!

[roamer65]

5. Hey smokey.

Yup Dennis K's bill. Ram it through!!!!

Hope all is well with you, Mr Smokey and the kitties. :hug:

[smokey nj]

6. We're all doing well, thanks.

How are you doing? And your critters?

[roamer65]

15. All well here.

7. HR 676 was introduced by JOHN CONYERS, not DK.

And it's a great, simple bill.

[AnOhioan]

8. It was co-authored, Conyers and Kucinich

[demodonkey]

18. Conyers is listed as the prime sponsor.

10. Instead we will see the overwhelming defeat of HR 676 on the floor of the House.

Its main obstacle to passage is lack of majority support.

I doubt it receives many more votes than it already has sponsors.

[frogcycle]

11. it would be a sweet backlash, wouldn't it?

kind of like just finding them guilty of unamerican activities and giving them the death penalty

Nuclear option!

14. Once the CBO is done crunching the numbers for single-payer, people will know it's the only reform

By the way, could single-payer also help decrease our deficits?

If it could, this is like killing two big birds with one stone.

Now THAT'S change you can believe in.

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

16. That would make my day.
