President Obama’s Longtime Physician Opposes White House Health Plan, Advocates Single Payer

AMY GOODMAN: What would you have asked?


DR. DAVID SCHEINER: I would have asked about single payer, insofar as we already have one that works, and why we just couldn’t have universal Medicare and eliminate the insurance companies, which are causing incredible costs and havoc on the system.

Toast

The crucial battle for single-payer healthcare is in the House Energy & Commerce Committee (E&C). On Monday, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) tried to offer a single-payer amendment but chairman Henry Waxman ended the meeting early to avoid a vote.

On Monday we asked our 600,000 subscribers to call E&C Democrats and below are the results you reported. Keep calling everyone who isn't in the "support" column! Hill staffers tell us your calls are "very helpful."
