1. 100% legit.

I've been following their work since they started making a noise.

I give their links to every doctor I come in contact with... (I have NEVER met a doc that didn't agree with them.)

4. If you're addicted to single payer, they're the ones, but...

that's their only point. Nowhere do they address any other problems, such as basic costs, access, or actual benefit to patients. And they seem to think the low Medicare payments are just great for every OTHER doctor out here.

6. I would love to become addicted to single payer.

Unfortunately, Congress has yet to supply me with it.

5. Good group, but too costly for me to join.

One not be a doctor to join, but almost must be a doctor to afford to join.

However, they have been working on single-payer health reform for years -- including during the 1992-94 debate.
