At the Health Care Summit, Sen. John McCain said,
So when my constituents and Americans now who overwhelming reject this proposal say go back to the beginning, they want us to go back to the beginning. They want us not to do this kind of legislating. They want us to sit down together and do what's best for all Americans, not just for some people that live in Florida or happen to live in other favored states. They want a uniform treatment of all Americans.
Mr. McCain, giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that "going back to the beginning" isn't just a delaying tactic to prevent any progress whatsoever, and taking you at your word, what you said is something I really find rather encouraging.
Sure, let's rewind this process and take another shot in light of what we've learned, and let's aim for a system that does what's best for all Americans and treats us all equally:
Following your reasoning here, Let's put single-payer health care on the table. Thank you for making a case for doing so.
