A Quote by Bernie Sanders

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.

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

We are the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all people as a right and yet we end up spending much more than they do, so I do believe that we have to move toward a Medicare for all, single-payer system.

Bernie Sanders

I am sure that there are some single payer advocates who think the only thing worth fighting for is single payer.

Bernie Sanders

If you believe that health care is a public good to be guaranteed by the state, then a single-payer system is the next best alternative. Unfortunately, it is fiscally unsustainable without rationing.

Charles Krauthammer

The United States remains the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all of our people. And yet we are spending almost twice as much per capita. We have a massively dysfunctional health care system. And I do believe in a Medicare for all single-payer system, whether a small state like Vermont can lead the nation, which I certainly hope we will, or whether it's California or some other state.

Hillary Clinton

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

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.

Kevin de Leon

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

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

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

J. B. Pritzker

I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care plan.

Barack Obama

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

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

Bernie Sanders

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