Yeah, how about it? Seems like a good idea to Salon’s Joan Walsh, too:
Gaming our private health insurance system so that it covers almost everyone—looks like a mess, huh? So how about single payer instead?

Walsh, if you’ll recall, recently castigated Ezra Klein for complaining about Obamacare website problems, but apparently Savage’s charm has helped her to see things differently. At least they’re now willing to concede that Obamacare’s an absolute cluster:

Of course, Savage’s solution sucks even harder than Obamacare:
@fakedansavage Government completely effed up a smaller program, I'm sure they'll get the huge program right.

Screw up small, give them all?
