Reply #4: There are plenty of us left, just not in Congress

[Lydia Leftcoast]

Next time the New York Times runs an article on health care, look at the comments in the order "Readers' Recommendations." You will find overwhelming support for single-payer health care, and lots of entries scolding the NYT for not covering that option.

Even the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, which is notorious for the knuckle-dragging freepers who inhabit its comment sections, if you look at the entries in the order "number of votes," single-payer health care wins. The main opponent now is a guy whom I believe to be a country club Republican, and an operative at that, because he keeps writing as if the Health Savings Account is the obvious answer for everyone.
