Republicans force withdrawal of single payer health care amendment

On Capitol Hill today, Republicans successfully defeated a proposal to create a single payer health care plan. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders withdrew an amendment that aimed to cover every American legally residing in the country with health insurance. Republicans had launched a procedural move to read aloud the entire 700-plus-page amendment, thus effectively blocking the debate on health care and threatening Democratic plans to pass the bill before Christmas.
