HR 676 !!! - Let's put Single Payer into the conversation:

[ehrnst]

88. Oh - I guess you weren't done.

Well, last I heard Bernie was given all due for Single Payer being on the table. Look for yourself:

https://www.google.com/search?q=single+payer+bill+2017&oq=single+payer+bill+2017&gs_l=psy-ab.12...6567.6567.0.8102.1.1.0.0.0.0.71.71.1.1.0.foo%2Cewh%3D0%2Cnso-enksa%3D0%2Cnso-enfk%3D0...0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0.jCqHdV-lQ3k

So now you are saying that because many politicians are behind it, it's valid.

Since you brought it up:

"Funny how no one seemed to oppose Medicare for All every other year it was introduced."

Can you show me the overwhelming support that it got?

"Why is it suddenly verboten to consider this bill?"

Um...haven't you been saying that "a majority of Dems support it?"

"Why the need to shout down anyone who supports it and pretend they're naive for doing so?

I simply refuted many of the claims you made as to why it's "popular" (but you don't care what the public thinks)

When you shouted, "Doctors want it!" I refuted that all doctors do, and pointed out that they are not health care policy analysts, who are the ones who have the expertise in health policy.

"I find all of the anger about single payer a little strange." The anger seems to be concentrated in your posts, especially when you are calmly shown the contradictions or lack of information on the topic.

"I stand with John Conyers and the 103 other representatives who cosponsored his bill."

I stand with neutral health policy analysts who have analyzed the data, and whose jobs don't depend on pleasing constituents, just as I stand with the CBO over the GOP when the CBO states the numbers of people who will lose health care coverage on the GOP bill....

I think the anger on the topic comes from you, because someone is refuting your statements. Don't project that on me.

I get enough of that when I quote the CBO findings to conservative family members who are all on board with Repeal and Replace.
