Last month, Sen Baucus declared that single-payer healthcare was "off the table". Doctors, nurses and single-payer advocates responded by disrupting the Senator's congressional hearings. A small victory was earned in the announcement that Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program was invited to testify at Sen. Kennedy's Committee hearing this Thursday.

Geri Jenkins, Co-President of the California Nurses Association just participated in Congress' first ever hearing to examine the single-payer option. She reports back on the hearing from Washington, D.C.
