32. So Physicians for a National Health Program got a meeting?
Or Mad As Hell Doctors, not just the AMA?

I see David Himmelstein on there, but were physicians' groups given similar access as the AMA?

I don't know, but it sounds like you might and I don't see the full list.

I disagree that he met with all sides in order to come to a decision. Rather I believe it was known he would not support single payer when elected and would be weak on public option as well. And I also believe the meetings were to ensure corporate support for a bill and corporate donations for the party.

What you wrote sounds so reasonable. I just think it is untrue. I'm sorry too.
