Apparently, Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) didn’t realize the fight he was picking when he said single-payer health care was “off the table.” Well, now he knows, and he’s admitted it was a mistake. He says he’s working to get charges dropped against the 13 single payer activists who disrupted congressional hearings on health care, and he’s apologised for excluding supporters.
Thanks Baucus, but apologies won’t help the 20,000 people who die each year because they lack health insurance, nor will they help the 62% of people who file for bankruptcy for medical reasons.
