Single-payer may see the light of day

Now that the Obama Administration is a reality there's hope for progress on many fronts, including health care. While Obama has made statements placating the insurance lobby nothing has yet been determined that closes the door on a single-payer solution to our healthcare crisis. Indeed, spending some of the economic recovery funds to expand health care makes sense in many ways-- just as long as it's not simply in the shape of handing public funds to private for-profit industry.
