national single payer to house floor

DN said this morning that pelosi refused to allow kucinich’s amendment to the house floor for a vote.  it was to allow states to implement single payer if they wanted to.  but going national is even better…????  I think pelosi knows it will probably get shot down, but it makes her look good to progressives for getting it across.  However, kucinich’s bill had a greater chance of passing if it was left up to states to decide.  if single payer gets implemented in a state…it will be the first domino to topple.  the rest will follow.
