House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) told Ezra Klein a single payerhealthcare system would be the best fix to Obamacare in an interview postedTuesday on Vox.com.
Pelosi offered a halfhearted political endorsement of Obamacare, telling Klein Democrats will simultaneously run on Obamacare this November while also emphasizing they stand ready to “improve” the law.
“I have some of my own suggestions I couldn’t get through on the first round,” she said ominously.
“How would you like to see [Obamacare] improved?” Klein asked.
“Well, of course I wanted a single payer, and I wanted a public option ,” replied the San Francisco Democrat.
The Department of Veterans Affairs offers healthcare to veterans in a similar fashion to single payer. The V.A. has fallen under scrutiny recently over revelations the department created secret wait lists to mask wait times for veterans seeking care.
Pelosi went on to acknowledge the public option and single payer are not “in the mix” currently. However, her disturbing and reflexive endorsement of single payer further illustrates liberals see Obamacare as a stepping stone to a full government takeover of the American healthcare system.
