68. I'm not confusing anything. I have been studying this problem since l996.
I introduced DU to the PNHP website back in 2002 and have been putting up posts on it regularly since then. However, this morning Senator Bernie Sanders was on the Thom Hartmann show on radio and he directly addressed this. He says he is a member of the Committee on Health Care, Education, Labor and Pensions. Now that the chairman Senator Kennedy is back, they will be taking a more active role in studying the issue. He is also a single payer advocate but says it's not going to happen because of powerful interests on Wall Street, meaning the insurance and PhRMA industries. He says if he has his way, a public option will include all that I mentioned above. I hope he has his way. If you can catch the podcast of the first hour of Hartmann's show today.
