Establish a single payer system that provides universal coverage

He doesn't put it all in one sentence, but it seems clear he is talking about the government being the single payer.

Get the right people in Washington. The discussion about how to fix the system, or how to design a new one, never even got started in the 2000-2006 Republican Congress. As long as insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyists control Republicans in Washington this will never happen. It's going to take a strong, motivated Democratic FDR Majority in Congress to make health care reform happen.

Establish a single payer system that provides universal coverage. I support the idea of a single-payer health care system in which the doctor-patient relationship remains personal and private, but costs and payments are centrally managed. We can reduce overhead and operational costs.
