It's not single payer, but Obama's budget will include a $634 billion "reserve fund" for health care reform. Turns out higher taxes on the affluent are going to a very good cause.
Paul Krugman thinks it's promising:
Since the last two posts were very down on the administration, let me say that the initial leaks on health care are encouraging. . . It’s beginning to look as if Obama’s really going to go through with this — and if he gets us to universality, his legacy will be secure.
And this from Ezra Klein is interesting.
In last night's speech, Obama said: "Let there be no doubt, health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year." via
