As of now we know that among the 120 people invitd to the White House Health Summit there are two single payer advocates: Representative John Conyers the lead sponsor for HR-676 and Dr. Oli Fein the president of PNHP.
My suggestion for what would seem to be a non-radical, non-shrill, non-extremist request/get:
"There must be a complete, honest, side-by-side comparison of all proposals, including HR-676, by the Congressional Budget Office"
Not just what Senator Baucus pre-determines to allow.
What are they afraid of?
Let there be a honest and open debate, comparing all the true total costs all proposals!
