Reporting from Washington and Los Angeles -- Even as President Obama toured Europe his administration pressed its healthcare reform campaign Monday in Los Angeles with a forum co-hosted by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who lost his bid in California to make many of the changes now on the table in Washington.
This story in the LA times illustrates why we must pressure President Obama and Congress on including the single payer health care option. They had representatives from insurance companies and employers but no representatives of the single payer approach which has a large and growing contingent. It is imperative that you contact your congressman, senator and white house for action now!
