Obama’s leaving out single-payer in March 5 meeting

Obama’s leaving out single-payer in March 5 meeting

March 4, 2009, 11:54AM

At the Congressional Black Caucus last week, Cong. John Conyers approached Pres. Barack Obama to ask for an invitation to the March 5 meeting Obama is having on healthcare for the nation. It seems Obama denied the request.

So no one who is an advocate of single-payer healthcare–including the man responsible for HR 676, a viable method of providing Medicare for everyone in the country while boosting the economy–will be at the meeting during which Obama may well decide the future of American healthcare.

Why? Beats me. The last I heard, Obama was open to hearing every option, and he’d only dismiss something if it didn’t have support (as well as not being any good).
