The 9/12 marchers were right!

No, not those 9/12 marchers. These 9/12 marchers...

Health care reform supporters march up Chestneet Street in Bellingham Friday, Sept. 12

Seems to me that single payer's still the only health care solution that can bring supporters into the streets, and no matter what kind of insurance reform Congress eventually passes, there are folks who will only see it as an incremental victory in the long fight for universal care, as opposed to insurance, an idea that was rejected out of hand in this round.

Yep, I'm one of those folks.

Hat tip to Sam Taylor.

TPM Reader AG from the 9/12 to-do...
Interestingly not a lot of American flags but a lot of other flags...

Whatever you may have heard...

...it didn't come from ABC News...
At no time did ABC News, or its affiliates, report a number anywhere near as large. ABCNews.com reported an approximate figure of 60,000 to 70,000 protesters, attributed to the Washington, D.C., fire department. In its reports, ABC News Radio described the crowd as "tens of thousands."
