Kucinich Secures Congressional Victory for States’ Single Payer Drive
Kucinich Amendment Allows States to Seek a Federal Waiver




Washington, Jul 17 -

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today created an opening for the single payer health care movement by winning adoption of an amendment which eliminates a federal barrier to states choosing to enact single payer health plans. The amendment won on a bipartisan basis during lengthy committee action on HR 3200, America’s Affordable Health Choices Act.

“Although the amendment does not create a single payer health care system, it removes a major obstacle for any state that wishes to pursue the single payer option. This amendment builds on the momentum of the national movement for single payer health care,” said Kucinich.






As long as this makes it into the final version of the bill, and is then made into law, I think we will have won a major victory no matter how weak the public option is
