More Proof President Obama Wants Single-payer Universal Health Care

Here is what President Obama said to the AMA about wanting a single-payer system:
"What are not legitimate concerns are those being put forward claiming a public option is somehow a Trojan horse for a single-payer system. I’ll be honest. There are countries where a single-payer system may be working. But I believe – and I’ve even taken some flak from members of my own party for this belief – that it is important for us to build on our traditions here in the United States. So, when you hear the naysayers claim that I’m trying to bring about government-run health care, know this – they are not telling the truth."

Here is what he said on his “Illinois General Assembly Questionnaire.” in 1996.

Here is a video of Obama lying to the AMA and a 2007 video clip where Obama talks about eliminating employer coverage.


From the video:
I would hope that we set up a system that allows those who can go through their employer to access a federal system or a state pool of some sort. But 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 fifteen years out or 20 out.
