| As seen on Democratic Underground: This Tuesday, May 12, the Senate Finance Subcommittee is holding its final roundtable on healthcare reform.
Single-Payer New York met with Senator Schumer, member of the Senate Finance Committee, on Friday evening. He agreed to ask Senate Finance Committee Chair Max Baucus to include a single-payer expert if we can get another Senator on the committee to join him.
I just called Sen. Debbie Stabenow's DC office at (202) 224-4822 to let them know that I hope she joins Schumer in asking Baucus to include an expert on single-payer at tomorrow's hearing. This follows last week's incident in which single-payer supporters were denied the chance to speak at a roundtable discussion on healthcare. Let's fight to ensure that doesn't happen again, and that Congress listens to advocates for a program that is supported by a majority of both doctors and other Americans! |
