The single-payer option was proposed by many intelligent congressmen but Obama sought to make a few industry players BIG WINNERS.

Single payer was negotiated out w Republicans. Remember the ddeath panel fear mongering? Was around then. Ultimately they should have kept it In and say fuck the right wing. I guess they needed those zero votes in the house and those 50+ repeal votes.
