 950 Mason.  \n\n It is very important that Secretary Sebelius knows there 
 is a vibrant movement for\nsingle payer.  As you know, discussion of 
 Medicare for All ( HR 676 ) has been ruled\nof the table.  Monday's picket 
 is a very important part of the national campaign to\nhave single payer 
 ideas discussed.  \n\nWe need your participation.\n\nWe need you to call 5

 June 16 on NPR radio Sebelius said\n\nInterviewer: Can you say flat out 
 it's just never going to be single-payer health\ninsurance, and we're going 
 to try to write it, if we can, so that itwon't ever be?\n\nSecretary 
 Sebelius: "Oh I think that's very much the 
 case,."\n\nhttp://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105442888\n\n
