New York DU'ers, I would like an honest answer to a question.

The question is, what are the chances of a single payer system in your state? It's one thing to submit a bill and study. It's another to actually pass that bill. Any honest assessment is greatly appreciated.

2. Despite a Democratic Governor

The razor-thin Repub majority in the legislature is keeping even the watered down, milquetoast "Exchanges" in limbo.

3. Plenty of Republican districts in New York State.

And while New York Republicans are more moderate than in other parts of the country, progress happens mighty slowly here because of them. So I don't see us getting a single payer system any time soon.
