I know this is controversial, in the sense that, so far, the mainstream operatives in both major parties reject this. Still, I truly believe that if most people understood the issue, they would agree with Kucinich.
Most
of the stated objections are based upon ideological concerns, totally
divorced from any sort of objectivity. That is the case

A few hours ago a second video was posted on youtube with him speaking for 20 minutes about his and Conyers bill, H.R. 676.
From the reaction of the audience, they understood what he was saying, especially about the insurance companies hold on our system, and they agree with him.

Hear, Hear. Kucinich is the man.
Too bad that universal healthcare is too much of a socialist concept for the US. The US has a notion that Democrats are liberals or lefties. Democrats are just Republicans lite.

I prefer to say the Republicans are heavy Democrats, rather than to think of Democrats as light Republicans, but I know what you mean.

Everything Kucinich said was true, until the end, when he said that "When I'm the Democratic candidate... "
