I’m short on time here, so will have to settle for just a couple of quotes and a link to the original story at The Intercept:
INFLUENTIAL DEMOCRATIC CONSULTANTS, some of whom work for the Super PACs backing Hillary Clinton, have signed up to fight a bold initiative to create a state-based single-payer system in Colorado, according to a state filing posted Monday………..
The filing reveals that the anti-single-payer group has retained the services of Global Strategy Group, a Democratic consulting firm that has served a variety of congressional candidates and is currently advising Priorities USA Action, one of the Super PACs backing Clinton’s bid for the presidency……….
A number of other Democratic firms have signed up to help defeat single payer, too. Hilltop Public Solutions, a firm managed by former campaign staffers to Barack Obama, was paid $45,000 by the group. Hilltop has also provided consulting services to Ready PAC, another Clinton-supporting Super PAC that eventually folded into the Clinton campaign.
That’s enough for a teaser — you can read the rest here.
One might take note that, should Colorado, or any other state, succeed against the odds in passing a state single-payer law, they will need a waiver from the feds to put it in place — giving single-payer advocates one more reason to be concerned about who might be running the show in DC.
