Oh, and just forget the sham that was the Citizens Health Care Working Group.
Dr. Don McCanne accurately called it: "a partisan hack job". They went coast-to-coast and asked for American's opinions on how to fix our health care system. THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTICIPANTS
WANTED NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE, but the Working Group came out with a biased report and recommendation of their own. But we're not going to let up until we get National Health Insurance.
