Well, Joe Lieberman killed that one!

Funny. I understand the economics of Woolhandler's analysis, but I'm not so sure about the politics. Opponent Ben Nelson said the buy-in was a furtive way of getting to single-payer - more than the public option. Anthony Weiner, the New York Congressman who supports single- payer, says pretty much the same thing. That's why it's gotta go!
