Another progressive single payer initiative, Prop. 187 was slaughtered in Ca. For 27%, Agin' 73%. http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/1998/states/CA/polls/CA94OH.html http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/pipermail/lbo-talk/Week-of-Mon-20040913/020720.html , for Kaiser Family Fndtn. #'ers.

In Oregon, 81% against on a single payer initiative, Measure 23 in 2002. But, "we" keep on relying on "polls" from advocacy groups, ("67% Support Single Payer.")that confirm what we wish to be true, that there is mass support for what is the only real solution to the US health care mess.
