"Sicko.
"Everyone should see it.
"And take the kids.
"The movie's message in a nutshell -- we need single payer.
"In the United States.
"Now.
"But Senate Democrats are trying to co-opt the message.
"On Capitol Hill today, SEIU held a rally for a couple of hundred health care workers.
"The group was addressed by six Senators.
"None support single payer.
"Senator Ben Cardin (D-Maryland) -- does not support single payer.
"Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) -- does not support single payer.
"Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) -- does not support single payer.
"Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) -- does not support single payer.
"Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) -- does not support single payer.
"Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota) -- does not support single payer.
"We asked Dawn Lee, a spokesperson for SEIU, whether SEIU supported HR 676 -- the single payer bill in the House.
"She said SEIU takes no position on that bill.
SEIU -- does not support single payer.
At the SEIU rally, all spoke in favor of "universal health care."
