Did you know that New York Congressman Anthony Weiner was able to work with Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, to get HR 676, Single Payer Health Insurance brought before the full house in September? On August 1, 2009, Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA), Chairman of the Energy & Commerce Committee announced that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has pledged to give Single-Payer an up or down vote when healthcare reform is considered before year’s end.<\/p>\n

Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY), Co-Chair of the Middle Class Caucus and member of the Energy & Commerce Committee who led the effort with Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI); Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA); Rep. Elliot Engel (D-NY); Rep. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL); Rep. Janice Schakowsky (DIL); and Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT), released the following statement:<\/p>\n

“Single-payer is a better plan and now it is on center stage. Americans have a clear choice.
\nTheir Member of Congress will have a simpler, less expensive and smarter bill to choose. I am
\nthrilled that the Speaker is giving us that choice.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
