Please ask the Center for American Progress's WonkRoom to publish a weekly estimate of the budget and consumer savings expected from single payer health care, i.e., H.R. 676 Medicare for All (Conyers.) The WonkRoom claims to be informed with facts and figures for the highbrow croud, and for the most part they do a pretty good job. But the only post they had mentioning single payer over the past year was a joke about how some Republican said it would be a good idea. Later Tim Carney -- a D.C. muck-raker who complains about establishment Democrats and (less frequently) Republicans, found out that CAP accepted money from WalMart. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Did that affect the Center's position on Single Payer? Please write these people and ask:
