Progressive activists are angry that a Medicare-for-all single-payer approach was totally ignored during the health care debate.

Health care in Denmark is universal, free of charge and high quality. Everybody is covered as a right of citizenship.

These are the same people who believe, in some cases, the federal government should not play any role in providing health care to our people or protecting the environment.

My background is in health care.

As a single-payer advocate, I believe that at the end of the day, if a state goes forward and passed an effective single-payer program, it will demonstrate that you can provide quality health care to every man, woman and child in a more cost-effective way.

We will have health care reform in America.
