Dr. Himmelstein objected to in your OP. Maybe Dean never attacked the various SP groups, keep in mind that all are not affiliated with PNHP, but he mischaracterized the public option continuously saying on the ED Show that it was SP when people were trying to get a seat at the Baucus hearing....instead they were arrested.

PNHP organized in the mid 1980's to advocate for a not for profit HC system for all, they saw where this watered down public option was going and did not endorse the PO.

Do not blame them for trying to point out the flaws of the proposed legislation and for not going along.

And some of these groups questioned his relationship with McKenna, Long & Aldridge, a global firm who represents the BIO firm...12 years data exclusivity.



As you put me on ignore you will not see this reply, maybe someone will PM you, because you have also twisted what happened at certain events.

Why are people trying to discredit single-payer advocates? ...

The quotes that Dr. Himmelstein was objecting to are not in the OP after months of Dean confusing the issues and misrepresenting the two systems, Dr. Himmelstein had enough. Dean has been speaking all over the country and has had many appearances in the media so there are probably many other examples.

Now the organization and doctors who are the biggest threats to the insurance companies are the bad guys because they called Dean out on his misuse of the terms.....
