Single Payer Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown

March 22, 2017

Go to any gathering of citizens about health care.

Any gathering.

Anywhere in the country.

Most of them are being organized by mainstream Democrats who want to push back against the Republicans and defend Ombaneycare.

Just go.

And listen.

And what two words do you hear the most?

Single payer.

What kind of response do you get if you say:  “We need to defend Obamacare?”

Lukewarm.

What kind of response do you get if you say:

“Every citizen in the United States should have a Medicare card. Single payer.”

Explosion of applause.

Seventy members of the House of Representatives have signed onto HR 676 – the single payer bill in the House.

But zero members have signed on in the Senate.

Why?

Because there is no bill in the Senate.

The liberal lions in the Senate – Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown – nothing.

And the health care debate will shift to the Senate next week.

Next week!

Why are they hesitating to put single payer back in the spotlight?

Obamneycare is in a death spiral.

What are they waiting for?
