Reply #44: Does the public know what single payer means?

[suzie]

Does the public understand that single payer is like Medicare? Is there a reason that a Dennis Kucinich never mentions Medicare for all--only single payer?

Could it be that Kucinich is such a narcissistic egomaniac that he doesn't want anything he says to be tied with any politician from the past--like those who got Medicare passed? And those who've continued to deal with the program?

Howard Dean explains single payer by using the Medicare example. Is Kucinich more knowledgeable about health care/insurance programs than Howard Dean?
Or does Kucinich simply not want anything that does not have the Kucinich name on it to be passed?
