Kucinich Amendment still possible?
Last month, DK said:

"Once the health care bill passes the House, and the Senate passes its version, the two bills will go to a Conference Committee," Kucinich said. "It is at this point that we will have one more chance. We need to insist that the Kucinich Amendment be included in the Conference Committee report, since that is what will ultimately become law." http://www.truthout.org/topstories/110409ms03">truthout

Is the insertion of this amendment still possible if, say, Sen. Sanders insisted on it as a condition for his vote? Enacting Single Payer state by state seems like a viable way forward.

2. It should be debated
There's no good reason to deny it a real discussion on the floor.

4. Sanders is singalling that he will suppor this stupid abortion of a bill--
--without ERISA waivers. Not looking good.
