Republican Party

Does Not Support Single-Payer

The Republican Party does not support single-payer based on its 2004 platform (pdf):
- — “We want more people to own and control their health care.” “… we reaffirm our Party’s firm rejection of any measure aimed at making health care a government-run enterprise.” “We reject any notion of government-run universal health care …”
