Dennis Kucinich Calls For the End of Private Medicine

Truthdig reports:
Truthdig: What kind of healthcare [do] congressmen get--what kind of healthcare do you have?

Kucinich: Well, we pay for our healthcare.
I mean, our healthcare is deducted from our salary. You know, we can opt for what kind of plan we want. The more comprehensive coverage you have, the more you pay. The solution to the nation's healthcare problem is not to deny members of Congress healthcare coverage. It's to make sure every American has the access to quality healthcare, and the only way to do that is for Congress to pass a bill that would provide for universal not-for-profit healthcare for all Americans. There's a bill called "Medicare for all," and this bill in this current Congress is HR 676--the Conyers/Kucinich bill.
Socialism one industry at a time.
