President Obama’s White House made crystal clear this week: a Canadian-style, Medicare-for-all, single payer health insurance system is off the table.

Obama doesn’t even want to discuss it.

Take the case of Congressman John Conyers (D-Michigan).

Conyers is the leading advocate for single payer health insurance in Congress.

Last week, Conyers attended a Congressional Black Caucus meeting with President Obama at the White House.

Sitting in front of your computer won’t do it.

Watching C-Span won’t do it.

E-mailing your member of Congress won’t do it.

We’re going to have to get off the couch.

And directly confront the three branches of our government.

Obama’s White House.
