We tried to get single payer insurance in the Clinton administration and had it shot down in flames. As attractive as the concept is to many, it had the effect of galvanizing the rightwing into fighting what they called "socialized medicine" and cost the Clintons a lot of political muscle. We should allow the public debate to proceed in Congress without limiting ourselves to one concept or we will lose again.
