Following Mitch McConnell's directions; today Tommy Boy had an amendment for a single payer system (that would have admittedly failed) read out loud on the Senate floor. After a bit more than three hours, the amendment was withdrawn. It was introduced to prove a point that the idea was not dead and to check who would vote for it, no biggie, it would have taken 15 minutes.
When asked why he did it, Tom shrugged and said he wanted to hear what a single payer system would be. If it's true that this amedment was not available to review before the vote, I would have done the same thing...but I can't figure out when it was introduced. the senate.gov web site is a bitch to navigate!
