Elizabeth Warren Calls For Democrats To Embrace Single-Payer Health Care
Obamacare was based on ‘’a conservative model,’’ the Massachusetts Democrat says.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) says it’s time for Democrats to run on single-payer health care across the country.
President Barack Obama “tried to move us forward with health care coverage by using a conservative model that came from one of the conservative think tanks that had been advanced by a Republican governor in Massachusetts,” Warren, referring to Mitt Romney, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal published Tuesday.
“Now it’s time for the next step. And the next step is single payer,” she said.
Warren’s comments represent a shift to her position on the U.S. health care system. In March, she said her support for switching to single-payer ― in which the government handles coverage of health care costs, rather than insurance companies ― would depend on whether Democrats could find Republican lawmakers willing to help fix the Affordable Care Act passed under Obama.

I agree that Single-Payer is the way to go! It's time to take insurance companies out of our health care!
