PA: Green Candidate for Congress Calls for Universal Single Payer Healthcare

Ed Bortz, Green Party candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania's 14th District writes at Firedoglake:

If there was a perfect moment, for universal single-payer healthcare activists to move from talk to courageous screams for justice, it would be right now. Forget the political calculus…burning issues must always trump the politics of the elites . . . So who says we need to give up and accept a fundamentally flawed corporate-written health insurance bailout bill, rather than a clear and principled healthCARE reform bill? We already have the foundations for an equitable and cost effective system in Medicare…let’s improve on Medicare and make it available to everyone!
