CNSNews.com - White House Evades Questions on Obama’s Past Support for Single-Payer Health Care

CNSNews.com - White House Evades Questions on Obama’s Past Support for Single-Payer Health Care: "(CNSNews.com) – A White House spokesman declined Thursday to clearly answer questions from two reporters about President Barack Obama’s 2003 comment that he supported a single-payer health care system.

A video circulating on the Internet shows Obama giving a 2003 speech at an AFL-CIO event. In the speech, he says: “I happen to be a proponent of single-payer, universal health care plans.”

In 2007, U.S. senator and presidential candidate Obama said, “I don’t think we’re going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There’s going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out, or 15 years out, or 20 years out.”"
