Gore Backs Single Payer
Apparently Al Gore is now a supporter of single payer health insurance (a government funded system, like they have in Canada). While I think Single Payer is a good idea, but I don't think supporting it is a good idea for Mr. Gore or the Democrats. Single player plays right into the hands of the GOP attempts to paint us as "Spend-0-Crats". For Gore personally, there is the issue of inconstincey, because previously he was not in favor of such a plan and his new posistion will probably be attacked as a campaign gimmick. I haven't seen much else on this story, but will see how things turn out.
