We hear so much about 'compromises', but its worth mentioning that Obama and Co made no compromises whatsoever with Single-Payer advocates, and many progressives in the Democratic Party who've been pushing for health reform for many years. He told these people to take a hike. He didn't invite them to White House events on healthcare. He didn't complain when Max Baucus shut them out of the public forums purporting to keep 'all options on the table'.
