It's from Obama's campaign website and it has the "starting from scratch" line. It's a fantastic collection of how Obama duped people into believing that he supports single payer while saying that he doesn't. People eager to hear 'single-payer' latched on to that and ignored the rest.
The other countries didn't have to start from scratch, they simply implemented single payer on top of what they already had. There's no reason why we can't do that here. If HR 676 passed the House and a similar version passed the Senate, barring Presidential veto, we'd implement single payer system on top of the colossal failure of a health-care system we have now.
