Thursday's White House sessions provided a great forum for advocates of 'patching up' and 'tinkering' with a broken system.
But that's not the treatment that is needed. That's a prescription for failure.
Obama is better positioned that any president in decades -- perhaps ever -- to design a system from scratch.
The special interests, corporate insiders and congressional compromisers who made the mess and fear the change won't remind him of that fact – as Thursday's forum so amply illustrated.
Real reformers should keep banging on the doors and demanding a place at the table.
Single payer is not "an alternative."
It is not one of "various treatment options."
It is the cure.
Read it all.
