re: #518 Blind Frog Belly White

Cold comfort. If Obama had tried for single payer, we’d still be stuck with the old system with 15 Million more uninsured and anyone with preexisting conditions screwed.

We need dreamers - in Congress. In the White House we need people willing to get their hands dirty, even if that makes the purists cringe.

I’m still trying to figure out where this idea that only the President can propose and pass legislation comes from. I will grant you it is a lot easier to get people behind it with the bully pulpit, but I would think that a Congresscritter could work to get their colleagues behind it and move a bill forward for the President’s consideration.
