Dr. Pat Salomon was arrested last month for demanding that single payer be heard by the Senate Finance Committee.

“The Congress is just bought off,” Dr. Salomon told Single Payer Action last week. “They will not hear single payer. Why won’t they hear it? What’s so dangerous about hearing about single payer? Understanding the fiscal principles behind it, the clinical principles behind it, the moral principles behind it. They won’t even give it a hearing. Why, what are they so afraid of?”
