Check in here if you are not represented in Washington.
Single-payer is what we ought to be getting, like every other industrialized nation.

The public option was a huge compromise to begin with. And now, it looks like we can't have even that.

Anyone getting the picture yet? Any bells going off? Government is bought and paid for. We are not represented.

5. I've strongly suspected it for a long time.
This public option business is the last straw, though. I am no longer able to maintain "willing suspension of disbelief."

It's time to look at ways to dismantle this whole system.

2. My Congressman is a Repuke.

I can't count on Dianne Feinstein, but I believe Barbara Boxer will vote for the right bill.

18. Technically the only people who aren't represented
in Washington are the People in Washington! And a few territories. You may not like that you aren't the majority but there are plenty of single payer supporters in DC. So quit the hyperbole.
