This was said after single-payer was blocked. This was his version of RomneyCare, in response to the original vision being defeated via filibuster.

The filibuster was the Democrats' excuse. They used that excuse many times, and it was never legitimate.

If minority Republicans can use it to block everything, then minority Democrats can too ... except that's not how it played out ... and that's how we know that the corporate Dems were just pandering to big pharma et al.
