Charlie Munger is a Republican and the billionaire vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. In an interview with Yahoo Finance, he states that a single-payer system is the healthcare solution for the United States.
“A benign despot would create a single payer system with people being able to opt out into private care that was a little faster or a little fancier like all of Europe and Canada,” he said.
“I think you young people will live to see a healthcare system that looks a lot like Canada’s with a better private opt out system,” Munger said. “I won’t.” (Munger is 93.)
