Baucus to Meet with Single-Payer Advocates
------------------------------------------



After months of protests, Democratic Sen. Max Baucus has agreed to meet
with a delegation of leading single-payer national health plan advocates
on Wednesday. Baucus chairs the Senate Finance Committee and plays a key
role in the debate over reforming the healthcare system. He has
repeatedly said a single-payer system is off the table and has iced out
single-payer advocates from committee hearings.
