Weekly Challenge
Politicians, news commentators, and bloggers of diverse backgrounds and political
leanings have begun to muse out loud about having a single payer healthcare system
instead of either the current broken system or the same system as modified by the Affordable
Care Act. Some suggest that this is inevitable, or even that it is what the Obama
administration planned all along.
Long-time supporters of single-payer healthcare can help ensure an informed discussion
by speaking, writing, or blogging about the various proposals for implementing single-payer
at the state or national level.
