Congress votes to allow guns in national parks
The approval is a bitter disappointment for gun-control advocates

"There's a lot of momentum to get this done," said Rep. Raul Grijalva, R-Ariz.

Grijalva, chairman of national parks subcommittee, opposed the gun measure, but said the "sense of urgency from the White House" to get the credit card bill approved, combined with the NRA's clout, were impossible to overcome.

This has been described as a single-payer system.

The United States National Health Insurance Act (HR676) establishes a new American national health insurance program by creating a single payer health care system.

The goal of the legislation is to ensure that all Americans, guaranteed by law, will have access to the highest quality and cost effective health care services regardless of one’s employment, income, or health care status.
