Industry has the money to "convince" whomever will listen that it will not work.
During the last go around, the bill for Single Payer almost squeaked by, but in the end two Dems got their pretty little arms twisted (or maybe their pocket books were filled?) The state legislators in California are pathetic, as far as so many of them being bought and paid for by the Monied Crowd.
The California Nurses Association has done a great deal of work on the issue. I do hope that at some point soon, that work pays off.
