*sigh* but what do we hear from the right every time Single Payer is mentioned? (Limbaugh Voice) "It's SOCIALISM!!!!" dun dun dun.
FFS, of course it's the money...The "health" care industry spent over $500 Million lobbying last year

I don't care what you call it. It works well and costs a ton less. You know, a pragmatic solution. Imagine that. Unfortunately, the words "pragmatic" and "US Government" rarely appear in the same sentence these days.
