Yet, Dick Gephardt, the former Democratic House minority leader, laughed off the idea of single payer at a health insurance conference earlier this month, and said, "There is no way you could pass single payer in any intermediate future,"
You should also know that, after congress, Gephardt became a corporate lobbyist serving Peabody Coal and Goldman Sachs, among others. He also serves on the board of the health insurance company, Centene, receiving annual compensation of around $315,000 in cash and stock awards.

IMHO, the real point is both the arrogance and the blindness of the insurance people and Dick Gephardt. They were specifically asked if single payer isn't an "existential threat" - a threat to their existence - and they laughed.
They cannot see the mounting rage that will consume their industry!
