I think he meant that single-payer health care is not always very popular here in the U.S. For example, Howard Dean stopped short of calling for a single-payer system because he didn't think it could make it through Congress.
Hey, I just got a survey today from Gov. Dean telling me I've been selected as a leader in my district! That's outstanding considering I'm a registered Independent. The only reason I can think of for Dr. Dean not calling for universal healthcare is because he's been neutered by the Democratic party establishment which is on the take from the healthcare mafia for corporate contributions.
You've probably never read the Electric Kool-Aid Test? I don't guess you've ever dropped six hits of orange sunshine in four days either, huh?
It's probably a miracle I can still think but I'm still on top of things. Hey, quit defending the Democratic Party for not getting on the universal healthcare bus sooner. It's a bummer trip.
I wasn't making a statement one way or the other. I was just explaining why it was a bit surprising for Clark to explicitly endorse a single-payer system. Facts are facts and, like it or not, single-payer health care isn't exactly a slam dunk issue.
I agree completely. I was just attempting to add a little levity. I'm not surprised Gen. (Ret) Clark is advocating this position because he was a Rhodes Scholar and is obviously more than capable of analyzing the numbers. I view this is as a solid development.

Not suprising at all.
Take a look at the military, eg: a self contained ecosphere. We need a national plan for things just like we have in military communities.
