Healthcare reform a trojan horse for single-payer - three Dems on video admitting it at verumserum - if you insist I can find the link:

Feingold: "…I believe the goal here is to create whatever legislation we have in a way that could be developed into something like a single-payer system."

Kathleen Sebelius: “I’m all for a single-payer system…eventually“.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) - "I know many of you are single payer advocates - and so am I. And so am I! ..... this is a vote about strategy for getting there"

.... Krugman, just 2 weeks later, speaking to a small audience of progressive activists in NJ:

“…the only reason not to do [single-payer] is that politically it’s hard to do in one step…You’d have to convince people to completely give up the insurance they have, whereas something that let’s people keep the insurance they have but then offers the option of a public plan, that may evolve into single-payer, but you can do it politically…"
