...rush job to a House vote before or after the August recess when HR 676, a simple, straightforward bill with 83 cosponsors, which solves the health care matter nicely, has been waiting in the wings for what? Two years? I want an open debate and a vote on HR 676, dammit!

1. I've lost track. Has HR 676 made it out of committee? |

6. and HR 676 doesn't advance Obama's agenda...? |
|
I believe he's on record as supporting single-payer. And besides, the House can always resolve the issue later. For now though, it seems the height of hypocrisy to sit on HR676-- which is well supported by 83 cosponsors-- while promising to rush-job HR3200.

9. a bit more explanation would help.... |

What do you find so bad about it? It establishes single-payer universal health care for all Americans-- something that a majority of Americans polled support, along with at least 83 congressional cosponsors. What's bad?
