t r u t h o u t | House Leaders Refuse To Reconsider Kucinich's Single-Payer Amendment

t r u t h o u t | House Leaders Refuse To Reconsider Kucinich's Single-Payer Amendment: "In a letter to supporters on Wednesday, Kucinich wrote, 'Thank you for all of your efforts on behalf of the Kucinich Amendment for a state single-payer option, which would protect the right of states to pursue a single payer health care system.

'Unfortunately, the House Leadership has rejected the many appeals on behalf of the amendment and will not reverse their decision, which removed the amendment from the bill. Therefore, the Kucinich Amendment for a state single payer option will not be included in the Manager's Amendment and is not in the bill which will come before the House soon.'"
