Could Opposing Current Health Bill Lead to Single Payer?

 Print This Article

Good on Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff for arguing that the pale version of national health care being pushed by sellout politicians is unconstitutional (“Shurtleff may sue to stop health reform,” Tribune , Dec. 29). Plainly, however, no such argument could be made with respect to a single-payer health care program, which differs on no constitutional ground from Social Security.

If the right-wing wackos are now trying to push us into the only reform which will deliver lower costs, better health outcomes and increased public satisfaction, I say, more power to them!
