Of course the country needs Single Payer Health Care. Medicare part D also neeeds to be taken out of private hands. Medicare needs to take the General Services approach to negotiating drug prices.

The only problem will be the mass unemployment in the then unnecessary private health care industry and the drug pushing industry.

Somehow the country must figure out how to separate present employment needs from national policy needs. The policy issues should never be held hostage to the employment needs.

It's about time that the Obama worshippers stopped giving him a pass on all his promises.
