This has to be a first, huh?
Today, House leaders promised a vote soon not just on health care reform but on an honest-to-goodness single payer health care system - which is perhaps the best reform that could be made.
Lawmakers who support single payer were utterly floored that leaders even allowed them a vote.
Will single payer pass? If the Democrats want to prove they're not still dominated by the DLC, this is their chance.
