...we need single-payer, universal health care in this country," Dream Candidate said in a statement today.
Dream Candidate, making a campaign appearance in Appalachia, also commented on the current struggle between Democrats and some Republicans on behalf of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP).
"My fellow Americans! Is this what you want every few years? Do you want your leaders to expend enormous political capital, suck up valuable time in the national conversation about the human condition, for this tiny little piece of turf? Think about how that insane this is!" Dream Candidate then kissed an adorable tri-racial baby.
The statement continued: "S-CHIP is a symptom of a problem, not part of a solution. The problem is a for-profit health care system that kills Americans. The solution is universal, single-payer health care for all Americans. Preferably one funded by corporate income and dividend taxes, so that efforts to cut those taxes in the future would be tantamount to attacks on working and middle class Americans' health care. Join me in saying: screw S-CHIP! Let's talk about single-payer, universal health care!"
