The name has changed…

…but the spirit of McDermott-Wellstone lives on. Via The Sideshow...

Bernie Sanders and Jim McDermott have introduced single-payer bills in both the Senate and the House, as well. The twin measures, both called the American Health Security Act of 2011, would provide federal guidelines and strong minimum standards for states to administer single-payer health care programs.

The dream will never die.

And, yep, I'm proud to say that that's my own personal Congressman keeping it alive.
