Your friend Tim Faust also came across as much more informed and qualified. Here's an article from April published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that critiques Trump and the Republicans by advocating for single-payer. This article then has references which can lead you further to other published policy papers, academic research on healthcare, and other resources. This stuff is out there if you go looking for it which of course no one in the Democratic party or Congress is doing. I think it's important to recognize, and the podcast often does, that we're not lacking for good policy on any issue. It's 100% a lack of political will in both parties. The policy and ideas are just sitting there waiting to be picked up by someone with power. Which argumes to focus on power, not starting a think tank. 2017-05-15T19:18:47Z Comment by Firenza Just at the beginning of the section with Matt Bruenig, but he's just wrong that there aren't policy papers and similar things being put out there about single-payer. H.R. 676 is Conyers bill and has been around forever. Please familiarize yourself with PNHP - Physicians for a National Health Program. http://www.pnhp.org/facts/single-payer-resources 2017-05-15T18:48:11Z Comment by Greg Scheidler ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuck the NRO 2017-05-15T17:21:22Z Comment by Last Wave Film Orwell was a democratic socialist.
