Support in Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce for Single Payer Health Care?

This MinnPost story reports that DFL state Senator John Marty, a candidate for governor, says he found support in the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce for a single-payer health care system:


Though Marty said he knows the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce will never endorse his plan, he hears a different story from at least one outstate chamber. "An executive I talked to at the Grand Rapids chamber said he thinks a lot of their members would be very supportive of this (MN Health Plan) because while the state association represents insurance companies, the members are people who are struggling to get insurance. … So, I think a lot of members of chambers are to the point now where they desperately need some way to take care of their employees."
