Take Canada again: why does Canada have the health-care program it does? Up until the mid-1960s, Canada and the United States had the same capitalist health service: extremely inefficient, tons of bureaucracy, huge administrative costs, millions of people with no insurance coverage―exactly what would be amplified in the United States by Clinton's proposals for "managed competition" [put forward in 1993].21 But in 1962 in Saskatchewan, where the N.D.P. is pretty strong and the unions are pretty strong, they managed to put through a kind of rational health-care program of the sort that every industrialized country in the world has by now, except the United States and South Africa. Well, when Saskatchewan first put through that program, the doctors and the insurance companies and the business community were all screaming―but it worked so well that pretty soon all the other Provinces wanted the same thing too, and within a couple years guaranteed health care had spread over the entire country. And that happened largely because of the New Democratic Party in Canada, which does provide a kind of cover and a framework within which popular organizations like unions, and then later things like the feminist movement, have been able to get together and do things. ~ Noam Chomsky
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Noam Chomsky
If you demand the collective to pay for your medical expenses, then be prepared for the collective to demand to make your medical decisions for you. ~ A.E. Samaan
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by A.E. Samaan
Progressive activists are angry that a Medicare-for-all single-payer approach was totally ignored during the health care debate. ~ Bernie Sanders
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Bernie Sanders
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
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Hillary Clinton
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
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Peter Shumlin
I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer, universal health care plan ~ Barack Obama
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Barack Obama
I am not going to make promises I can't keep. I am not going to talk about big ideas like single-payer and then not level with people about how much it will cost. ~ Hillary Clinton
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Hillary Clinton
I happen to believe that we should move to a Medicare-for-all single-payer system, similar to what other countries around the world have. ~ Bernie Sanders
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Bernie Sanders
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
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Bernie Sanders
John Conyers and I were the ones who wrote the bill that provides for Medicare for all. And, so, even though the single-payer plan is not what's before the Congress, to expand Medicare, so that people 55 and up would be - would have the chance to buy in, that's - that would be a step in the right direction, no question about it. ~ Barack Obama
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Barack Obama
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
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Charles Krauthammer
I'm a proponent of single-payer health-care, public education, protecting the environment - all the things Democrats rally around. ~ Cynthia Dill
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Cynthia Dill
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
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by 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
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Bernie Sanders
I suspect I'm the only politician in America who won an election in this last cycle with TV ads saying I was going to try to pass the first single-payer system in America. ~ Peter Shumlin
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Peter Shumlin
According to a recent report drafted by thirty-nine physicians from the Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) and endorsed by some 2,500 medical doctors, a movement to "a single payer system would trim administration, reduce incentives to over-treat, lower drug prices, minimize wasteful investments in redundant facilities, and eliminate almost all marketing and investor profits. These measures would yield the substantial savings needed to fund universal care and new investments in currently under-funded services and public health activities - without any net increase in national health spending." In ~ Bernie Sanders
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Bernie Sanders
The right to choose to abort a fetus is critical, as is the ability to effect that choice in real life, so it's great that Hillary Clinton wants to repeal the Hyde Amendment. But without welfare, single-payer health care, a minimum wage of at least $15--all policies she staunchly opposes--many people have to forgo babies they'd really love to have. That's not really a choice.

It seems ill-conceived to have tethered feminism to such a narrow issue as abortion. Yet it makes sense from an insular Beltway fundraising perspective to focus on an issue that makes no demands--the opposite, really--of the oligarch class; this is probably a big reason why EMILY'S List has never dabbled in backing universal pre-K or paid maternity leave; a major reason 'reproductive choice' has such a narrow and negative definition in the American political discourse.

The thing is, an abortion is by definition a story you want to forget, not repeat and relive. And for the same reason abortion pills will never be the blockbuster moneymakers heartburn medications are, abortion is a consummately foolish thing to attempt to build a political movement around. It happens once or twice in a woman's lifetime.

Kids, on the other hand, are with you forever. A more promising movement--one that goes against everything Hillary Clinton stands for--might take that to heart. ~ Liza Featherstone
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Liza Featherstone
I think the purpose of government is for a population to accomplish its mutually agreed-upon goals without every citizen having to accomplish those goals for him- or herself. Some examples: we have a police force so we don't need to have vigilante mobs. We have a post office so we don't need to deliver our own mail across the entire nation. We have a fire department so we don't have to put out our own fires.
In return for the services we agree on, we pay a fee.
We just don't all agree on what the services and what the fees should be.
I personally think it's sad we don't all agree on single-payer health care. We agree on paying taxes to save a house from fire but not a body from cancer? Why do we care more about our property than about ourselves? ~ Robert Peate
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Robert Peate
People are ready to say, 'Yes, we are ready for single-payer health insurance.' We are the only industrialized country in the world that does not have national health insurance. We are the richest in wealth and the poorest in health of all the industrial nations. ~ Studs Terkel
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Studs Terkel
Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time. ~ Linus Torvalds
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Linus Torvalds
I," saith the Lord, "taught the prophets from the beginning, and even now cease I not to speak unto all; but many are deaf and hardened against My voice; many love to listen to the world rather than to God, they follow after the desires of the flesh more readily than after the good pleasure of God. The world promiseth things that are temporal and small, and it is served with great eagerness. I promise things that are great and eternal, and the hearts of mortals are slow to stir. Who serveth and obeyeth Me in all things, with such carefulness as he serveth the world and its rulers? Be thou ashamed, O Sidon, saith the sea;(3) And if thou reason seekest, hear thou me. For a little reward men make a long journey; for eternal life many will scarce lift a foot once from the ground. Mean reward is sought after; for a single piece of money sometimes there is shameful striving; for a thing which is vain and for a trifling promise, men shrink not from toiling day and night. ~ Thomas A Kempis
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Thomas A Kempis
The opener is always very difficult every single year. It Really doesn't matter whom you play. The opener is difficult because you've got more time to prepare for one game than you do any game the rest of the year because you've got all spring, all summer to prepare for this opponent. ~ Dabo Swinney
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Dabo Swinney
Every Single Number on the Clock knows all my Secrets. ~ Mian Adeel Mushtaq
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Mian Adeel Mushtaq
What i really want - and what i never get - is to be appreciated. do you know what it's like to work so hard to make sure everyone's happy, and to have not a single person recognize it ~ David Levithan
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by David Levithan
Complete knowledge of the nature of an analytic function must also include insight into its behavior for imaginary values of the arguments. Often the latter is indispensable even for a proper appreciation of the behavior of the function for real arguments. It is therefore essential that the original determination of the function concept be broadened to a domain of magnitudes which includes both the real and the imaginary quantities, on an equal footing, under the single designation complex numbers. ~ Carl Friedrich Gauss
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Carl Friedrich Gauss
And that's what the problem was – Kitty had finally nailed it. In the six months of Etcetera stories that Kitty had pored over, she now realised she hadn't written a single article that had been an idea of her own. Each story had been proposed by Pete or Cheryl or by somebody else who had enough on their own plate and was unable to write it. She hadn't noticed it happening because she hadn't minded. ~ Cecelia Ahern
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Cecelia Ahern
Why do you think there's only a single stairway to heaven, but an entire highway to hell? Because it's a lot easier to slide down then climb up, and it takes a whole lot less energy to boot. ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
The great cry that rises from our manufacturing cities, louder than their furnace blast, is all in very deed for this, that we manufacture everything there except men; we blanch cotton, and strengthen steel, and refine sugar, and shape pottery; but to brighten, to strengthen, to refine, or to form a single living spirit, never enters into our estimate of advantages. ~ John Ruskin
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by John Ruskin
I know have lived, so many times, that the only thing I have left to remember is my writing, cause every single moment in life it's already written. ~ Piroska Rodriguez
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Piroska Rodriguez
We enter into solitude first of all to meet our Lord and to be with Him and Him alone. Only in the context of grace can we face our sin; only in the place of healing do we dare to show our wounds; only with a single-minded attention to Christ can we give up our clinging fears and face our own true nature. Solitude is a place where Christ remodels us in his own image and frees us from the victimizing compulsions of the world. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
If you want to fulfil your dreams, stay away from the people who look down on you. Those who try to finish every single sentence for you. Those people are called dream killers. ~ Euginia Herlihy
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Euginia Herlihy
We humans can never learn everything. The purpose of human life is not to learn everything. Rather it is to learn from every single walk of life and put that knowledge into practice in the pursuit of making human life a little better. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Abhijit Naskar
This…Being here with you…I'm scared."
"Don't be. Please, God, don't be scared … We'll figure this out, I swear … I've survived a lot in my life. But that? Losing you? I wouldn't have recovered." I pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. "Then, tonight, I found out that you've always been mine. Every. Single. Day.". … "It's been a hard twenty-four hours. Just give me, like, eight more of sleeping next to you, and then you can have all day tomorrow to twist shit up in your head. I'll untangle it" – I paused to smirk – "on our date. ~ Aly Martinez
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Aly Martinez
Poets and songwriters speak highly of spring as one of the great joys of life in the temperate zone, but in the real world most of spring is disappointing. We looked forward to it too long, and the spring we had in mind in February was warmer and dryer than the actual spring when it finally arrives. We'd expected it to be a whole season, like winter, instead of a handful of separate moments and single afternoons. ~ Barbara Holland
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Barbara Holland
If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That's the single most important thing you could do. It's staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty. ~ Paul McCartney
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Paul McCartney
I won't compare ants and people, but ants give us a useful model of how single members of a community can become so organized that they end up resembling, in effect, one big collective brain. Our own exploding population and communication technology are leading us that way. ~ Lewis Thomas
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Lewis Thomas
Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows. But they are the ones who weep when you're gone. Who miss you every single night, especially when the sky is so deep and beautiful, and the ground so very cold. ~ Alice Hoffman
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Alice Hoffman
I was always the poor kid, even though I very much tried to pretend to be the other way. Always well presented. Always really active in the school, doing fashion shows, plays, involved in every single aspect of the school. Overcompensating, I think, for the fact that I knew I wouldn't be going on the ski trip every January. ~ FKA Twigs
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by FKA Twigs
Nobody was talking about healthcare until 'Sicko' came out. ~ Michael Moore
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Michael Moore
The visionary is destined to walk in solitude.
If the vision is truly original;
If the vision is truly unprecedented;
Then by its very nature, only the visionary is privy to its wonders.
It is the burden of a single soul.
Alone.
For even the visionary must peel back, chisel and ax away at the status quo to eventually reveal for all humanity what is yet unseen and unheard of.
The visionary is the sculptor releasing the vision from the block of stone that is convention. ~ A.E. Samaan
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by A.E. Samaan
I know we don't need an official document or rings on our fingers to tell us we belong together, because we've always known it. Always will. But the part of me who looks at you every morning and is proud as hell to call you mine, wants everyone else to know it too. So I brought you here and spoke my heart to ask you a single question. Will you say I do? ~ K. Bromberg
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by K. Bromberg
No, what I faced almost seemed worse: a nothingness that could be neither quantified nor identified. A sadness I could not trace back to one single thing, but a series of choices. A life that had everything, but nothing. ~ Nina G. Jones
Single Payer Healthcare quotes by Nina G. Jones
Last night's memories flooded over him like a tsunami. He'd been tipsy, but not drunk. He remembered it all, every single mind-blowing-intensely-erotic-second of it. Well if he wasn't sure, the crusty substance on his back was a clear indication. Asshole. Could've got a rag. Michaels ~ A.E. Via
