It was a beautiful Friday night in Oakland.

California that is.

Things were going swimmingly at the Oakland Whole Foods.

And at the 6 p.m., musicians started arriving.

More than 40 of them.

Got to hand it to New York Times reporter Katherine Seelye.

In a recent article in the Times, she ripped into single payer Medicare for all health reform and made it seem as if there exists a consensus – from across the political spectrum – that it couldn’t work here in the USA.

Or as she put it – “experts of diverse ideological views say expanding Medicare would be far more complicated and politically difficult than it might appear.”
