Ralph Nader: Single-payer health care plan over for-profit care

Q: Briefly describe Nader's position on Universal Health Care.

A: Ralph Nader "supports a single-payer health care plan that replaces for-profit, investor-owned health care and removes the private health insurance industry. He favors replacing our fragmented, market-based system with a single-payer health plan--where the government finances health care, but keeps the delivery of health care to private nonprofits, and allows free choice of doctors and hospitals for patients."
