I'm a proponent of single-payer health-care, public education, protecting the environment - all the things Democrats rally around.

Cynthia Dill

If the goal of health-care reform is to provide comprehensive, universal health care in a cost-effective way, the only honest approach is a single-payer approach.

Bernie Sanders

Health care is a human right, and single-payer health care will deliver quality, affordable care to every Illinoisan.

J. B. Pritzker

The German health care system is unique in its attempt to combine competition among sickness funds on the one hand and a universal coverage plan on the other hand. Most health care systems are either one or the other, so you either have private insurance and competition but not everyone is covered for everything, or you have a single-payer system. So the ideal types are like the American system on the one hand or the Scandinavian or U.K. systems on the other end. Germany tries to combine the advantages.

Karl Lauterbach

As a single-payer advocate, I believe that at the end of the day, if a state goes forward and passed an effective single-payer program, it will demonstrate that you can provide quality health care to every man, woman and child in a more cost-effective way.

Bernie Sanders

If we were to build a health care system from scratch, single-payer would be the way to go. But we have a very complex health care system in America.

Amy McGrath

What we believe is that health care should be a right in this country; I happen to believe that means that we should be for single-payer.

Jason Kander

When I talk about democratic socialist, I am talking about Medicare, a single payer health care system for the elderly. And in my view, we should expand that concept to all people. I believe that everybody in this country should be entitled to health care as a right.

Bernie Sanders

Single payer means something different to everyone. The way I define it is that health care is a right and not a privilege.

Peter Shumlin

Progressive activists are angry that a Medicare-for-all single-payer approach was totally ignored during the health care debate.

Bernie Sanders

Illinois needs a single-payer health care system, and as governor, I will take the steps to get us there.

J. B. Pritzker

The for-profit health insurance industry is the main obstacle to delivering high quality, universal healthcare for all. It should be replaced with a single-payer system, a public program that guarantees everyone coverage.

Kshama Sawant

She [Hillary Clinton] wants to go to a single-payer plan, which would be a disaster...she wants to go to single-payer, which means the government basically rules everything.

Donald Trump

In comparison to the U.S. health care system, the German system is clearly better, because the German health care system works for everyone who needs care, ... costs little money, and it's not a system about which you have to worry all the time. I think that for us the risk is that the private system undermines the solidarity principle. If that is fixed and we concentrate a little bit on better competition and more research, I think the German health care system is a nice third way between a for-profit system on the one hand and, let's say, a single-payer system on the other hand.

Karl Lauterbach

I have worked to expand the health care debate beyond the current for-profit system, to include a public option and an amendment to free the states to pursue single payer.

Dennis Kucinich

I wouldn't have voted for the war in Iraq, which has cost us trillions we could have been spending on a carbon-free economy, affordable college, and single-payer health care.
