I agree with it. In fact, now that the bill is passed we will have an opportunity to reach the Obama bills erstwhile supporters when all the loopholes become exposed. As they are already. Jon Flanders "At the Labor Campaign for Single Payer's National Meeting in early March, we came to the conclusion that, in the end, the debate between those who maintain that the current legislation is "better than nothing" versus those who believe it will "make things worse" will lead us nowhere. What is important now is to make sure that this incredible movement that has arisen to fight for the right to healthcare for all in America continues beyond this moment." ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
