since that was never really politically on the table. It does get a little tiring hearing some people constantly whining about something that is not possible.

There's that W word, but it's hard to avoid. Some people here are not gonna like any health care reform bill that is not single payer and others here would like to see a good bill passed rather than a bad one.

As for why wouldn't the insurance lobby pay people to oppose single payer on the blogosphere? Because they don't have to. There's already a solid 40% of Americans who are dead set against single payer, and probably another 40% who realize it is politically impossible. You don't hire somebody to win the game for you when you are already ahead 52-6 with two minutes to go.
