Re: [PDI] Rahm's brother on Health Care reform

I think Don McCanne gives a good refutation of Ezekiel Emanuel here:

"Medicare is our most popular, most efficient, and most equitable
health care financing program, yet it is being dismissed as a model
for all of us because of the idea that it somehow represents an
ideological extreme. In health care, political compromise based on
ideology is not only bankrupting individuals, it is killing them."

Polls show that most Americans now support single-payer. But we won't
get it without continued work asserting our political power and
political will. Time to step up.
