  No more fair weather friends.... I’ve been casting around for suggestions from people I trust about what kind of a platform we should ask Medicare for All candidates to agree upon.

  Corrente — Authority: 631
  Avedon Carol: Of course, the real mistake the Clintons - and many proponents of health care reform - made was to make single-payer unmentionable, to ignore or suppress calls for single-payer, to make sure the term never made it to page or screen.

  The Crone Speaks — Authority: 453
  I’d really like to see some of our congresscritters start calling health insurance what it really is: Legalized Extortion against the people. Let’s face it, when an insurance company is purposefully raising premiums to expand their profit base, and in the course of increasing their profits expect nearly 650,000 ...

  Corrente — Authority: 631
  How we look at things matters. How we choose to look at things matters. How we think about things matters.

  All Life Is Problem Solving — Authority: 115
  Many progressives, even though they’ve been working for a PO-based health care reform bill, have 1) never given up Medicare for All as the goal of their activity, and 2) decided, in the first quarter of 2009, that Medicare for All could not pass the new Congress.

  All Life Is Problem Solving — Authority: 115
  It’s important to sharply distinguish strategy from tactics in health care reform.
