Three cheers for the Philadelphia Democrats who took up Obama's invitation to help write the platform:

The Democratic Party should support HR 676 (Conyers Bill), which advocates a single-payer healthcare system that would provide coverage for all Americans. HR 676 has already been endorsed by the US Conference of Mayors, several thousand Union Locals, and is supported by 84% of the physicians in the United States. It is our belief that no one should be left at the mercy of the insurance industry and pharmaceutical companies where profit is more important than the welfare of the patient.

Well done!
