From the Burlington Free Press, 11/10/2009:
As the spotlight on health care reform shifts from the House to the more conservative Senate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., will be pushing for a hard left turn in the form of a single-payer system. The Vermont independent acknowledges that a plan to create a national single-payer system like Canada’s, in which the federal government would be the only source of financing for all health care services, isn’t politically viable..... He also has requested a vote on a national single-payer system, which even he predicts would fail. “But I think it’s important we have it, because I think there are many millions of Americans who understand ... that is the only solution to providing comprehensive, universal, cost-effective health care to all Americans,” Sanders said. (emphasis RedStateVT)
So Corporal Sanders admits that his plan is a non-starter and would be rejected by the people, but it makes sense........why?
