Imagine if Americans Were To March On Capitol Hill For Single Payer Healthcare...
What really shakes a Congressman is to have hundreds or thousands of his/her constituents angry and marching on his/her office.

Sure they are sponges for healthcare/pharma campaign contributions and support.

But being turned out of office would be a much higher concern.

That may be what it takes to break the $$ hold on Congress.

If they do, they will report a few dozen if the numbers are thousands or tens of thousands.

5. I wouldn't count on it --unless a lot of people are injured and bleeding ...
Count the number of insurance companies and pharma ads purchased from the MSM and you can tell where the MSM's 'toast is buttered.'
