Single Payer Now - III

Part of the problem I think has to do with the timidity on the part of those opposed to the health insurance companies. It's really sad how compromising much of the left is to what basically comes down to cold blooded murder. "Please don't let us die. Look, there's an American city that let's it's citizens live. See, you could be just as nice too. Come on, let us live please". And if some of you out there think that cold blooded murder is too exaggerated, I' d advise looking back at the statistics. I guess most are probably conscious of this connection, but I have to wonder given the shear lack of militancy on the part of so many demonstrators. I am not knocking the struggle for single payer, rather I am calling for that struggle to be put into perspective, and reevaluated. The issue is simply way to serious. In a sense cooptation wasn't even necessary on the part of the elite, because so many activists basically restricted the perimeters of the struggle before it began. Please is not enough.
