On the same show i linked above (not the same clip mindyou) they had the congressional rep from Brooklyn on who is a shining example of how democrats can still have a spine (and balls). He's pushing hard for single-payer, he knows his arguments well, and it seems healthcare is his issue. One of the better statements I'll paraphrase is...
"What does an HMO do? What benefit does it give you with health insurance? Most people are conflating, because there has been Propaganda supporting it, Insurance companies and their doctors. Most people like their doctor, not their insurance company.
This business model doesn't work for insurance, people don't choose to get asthma and they don't shop around when they have it."
