This isn't so definitive, but he argues that he'd be in favor of a government single-payer system if it would replace our current system.

 

Consumer Centric Health Care


I am for universal health care. To me that means that everyone in this country can obtain medical care when they need it.

 

That said, I dislike our current form of healthcare delivery in this country and always have. I'd like to see either single payer if we must have it or even better, a consumer centric health care system.

 

But I believe in markets and competition. And I believe that our current approach of using big fat bureaucratic insurance companies to finance and manage healthcare is badly flawed. I'd prefer the government run the healthcare system to the way we are doing it now. But an even better approach would be to let us run it ourselves.
