The CBO needs to work up Single Payer

[druidity33]

Why hasn't Congress asked the Congressional Budget Office to review and compare the costs of a Single Payer system? Are they afraid of something?

Is anyone working on making this happen?

I think if the numbers get laid out by a gov't study rather than single payer advocates, we might be able to get more people to listen to reason.

Any thoughts?

1. They should, but it won't be requested.

You think Dems want to give up those big insurance campaign checks?

3. how many congresscritters does it take

for the CBO to look into something?

Couldn't we get Kucinich to do it? Or Conyers?

2. Because the insurance companies told them not to.

They would rather tell us how bad it would be if everybody had health care.
