    I support single payer health care. If California goes the initiative route in getting it passed, I would ask that the parts that allow for co-payments and deductables be removed before it is circulated. Unfortunately, the bill making its way through the legislature allows for the use of deductables and co-payments. It would be good if they were droppped from the bill. Hint, hint.
