The proponents of "Medicare for all" never got a chance to draft that language because it wasn't feasible to pass it. But it was and remains the goal.

Sure a goal for some but certainly not all Democrats. And not in the context of this legislation.

I personally still think it's the only workable and effective cost solution... but don't want to get into that discussion AGAIN.

Rep. Massa Blast Dems: He Was Set Up…Hoyer Lied…May Rescind Resignation

"When I voted against the cap and trade bill, the phone rang and it was the chief of staff to the president of the United States of America, Rahm Emanuel, and he started swearing at me in terms and words that I hadn't heard since that crossing the line ceremony on the USS New Jersey in 1983," Massa said. "And I gave it right back to him, in terms and words that I know are physically impossible."

Editor's note: In another section of the interview Massa hints that he may rescind his resignation: “I’m not going to be a Congressman as of 5 o’clock [Monday] afternoon. The only way to stop that is for me to rescind my resignation. That’s the only way to stop it. And the only way that’s going to happen is if this becomes a national story.” See the Roll Call link below for more.
