Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, told CNSNews.com today that the health-care law that President Barack Obama signed last March is a “platform” for building a single-payer health care system in the United States.
During a newsmakers program at the National Press Club on Monday, Conyers said that after discussing the issue with Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D.-Ohio) he voted for the health-care law because he saw it as a necessary "platform" for building toward a single-payer health-care system in the United States.
CNSNews.com asked Conyers, “Do you see a single-payer health care system ultimately in the United States?”
“Of course," he said. "Universal health care--well, every industrial country on the planet already has a universal system of health care.”

Most would argue that the US is the greatest industrialized nation, so why try and be like everyone else?
Good, single payer is what we need.
That is why all those countries are broke. Single payer doesn't work unless you take out all the old people, the sick children, and anyone who doesn't contribute enough to society to equal the cost of medical care needed. So you have to have a perfect race/society which is exactly what Adolf Hitler was trying for.
Hey,2:32pm......is your tin hat in the correct position. I believe the signal from headquarters is being distorted.
National health care is already a disaster. The congress, unions and many other special groups are a loud to opt out if we all aren't in we need to scrap it.
Hey, 6:57...I agree. The problem is...Big Money calls the shots..and you and I are responsible voting citizens, and our voice doesn't count if it's not an election year.
