A list of legislators who could have single-payer scored by the CBO.
It would seem reasonable to allow the American people to be able to compare the costs and savings of the various health care proposals.

From Health Justice

PLEASE ASK THE FOLLOWING LEGISLATORS TO HAVE THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE – CBO – SCORE THE SINGLE PAYER BILLS (HR 676 AND S 703).

The CBO takes its orders from Congress, specifically the leadership, (House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader), as well as the chairs of various committees. These legislators have the power to have the single payer bills scored–contact them and
send a fax:

Finance (H-Barney Frank, D. Massachusetts; S-Max Baucus, D. Montana)
Health, Education, and Labor (S-Ted Kennedy, D. Massachusetts)
Budget (H-John Spratt, D. South Carolina; S-Kent Conrad, D. North Dakota)
Appropriations (H-David Obey, D. Wisconsin; S-Daniel Inouye, D. Hawaii)
Ways and Means (H-Charles Rangel, D. New York)
Energy and Commerce (H-Waxman, D. Los Angeles)
