Conyers wants single payer in the Democratic Platform

REAL STEPS TOWARD SINGLE PAYER: HR676 CHAMPION MOVES THE CAUSE TO DENVER

Rep-John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary and primary sponsor of HR676, joined the national Healthcare Not Warfare campaign in seeking national platform status for true reform. No wiggle, no waffle, no sequential silliness that allows some Americans in while holding others partially out of the plan. Conyers knows that with 91 co-sponsors already on board and many more in the November election pool, the path to passage of HR676 is much more “politically feasable” than the convoluted and corrupt path to marginal change.

Welcome California Nurses!

Wow California Nurses are? is? here!!!

Even one California Nurse will be an ornament to Correntewire. Instigators extraordinaire!

well, we'll see.

obama was allergic to the mandates necessary to get single payer to work, preferring a voluntary sign-up system which would leave 15 million people uninsured.

of course, that was back during the primaries, and he’s changed his positions on FISA, Iraq, etc. since then… maybe he’ll change this one too.

if HR 676 passes

Obama wouldn’t dare veto it.
