Single Payer Health Reform

I don't know much, but I know what I like. And frankly, I don't think single-payer has a chance in hell this year, and this year is going to see some sort of health care reform.
Nevertheless, we can't just sit here and shake our heads.
The blogs are all aflame over Montana Sen. Max Baucus' decision to exclude any single payer advocates from his hearing last week and, when they protested, had them thrown out. These aren't the pinkies, they were health professionals there to make a point.
You can register your disapproval of Baucus, and his documented ownership by Big Pharma and other big campaign donors, by calling or faxing his office.
I personally believe a fax works better, and you can FAX for free right from your computer. Yeah, that thing in front of your face as we speak.
Just tell them you want single-payer advocates included in the hearings. Next one is May 12, Tuesday.
