WHY? Apparently one big deal is that it's so much more efficient than the current system, it'll throw a couple of million people working for the insurance industry out of work. Two things about that: Throwing people out of work doesn't seem to worry the powers-that-be much in any other context. If joblessness is the problem, come up with job training and transition packages for them and everyone else in that situation! That’s what I want to know: why is single payer “off the table”? WHY?

BO does what is good for corporations and they fund his campaigns and promote him in the media they own. The working class is thrown to the predatory credit economy and sweat ed from birth until life closes. Single payer would have stopped that and been a blessing but it will not happen. there will be reform in name only like Bush's prescription coverage.
