[Dialogue] Harry Wainwright has forwarded an article to you from CommonDreams.org: Media Blackout on Single-Payer Healthcare

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Hi Harry,
Thanks for forwarding this.  This is a very important piece.  The health insurance companies are doing everything they can to block single-payer.  The CBO, Congressional Budget Office has stated that we could cover everyone in the country and spend no more than we are collectively spending now.  The administrative costs and the overhead of the insurance companies is so high it distorts everything.  Thanks again.
I am part of a group called Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan (HCHP) working on this.
Thanks again.
Charles

Media Blackout on Single-Payer Healthcare
FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting) 
Major newspaper, broadcast and cable stories mentioning healthcare reform in the week leading up to President Barack Obama's March 5 healthcare summit rarely mentioned the idea of a single-payer national health insurance program, according to a new FAIR study. And advocates of such a system--two of whom participated in yesterday's summit--were almost entirely shut out, FAIR found.
