This from Stanley Kurtz, who did many articles on investigating who Obama really is, writes on The Corner blog on National Review Online:
Obama and Single Payer in Illinois [Stanley Kurtz]
This revealing video
shows Obama in 2007 acknowledging a long-term strategy to undermine
employer-based private medical insurance coverage, and in 2003
affirming his support for a "single-payer" government-run health-care
system.
Obama’s support for a single-payer system may run deeper than we
realize. In his regular "Springfield Report" column in the October 2,
2002 issue of the Hyde Park Herald, Obama wrote:
I have been one of the leaders in the General Assembly on universal
health care as the chief State Senate sponsor of the Cardinal Bernardin
Amendment, which would change Illinois to a single-payer system where
everyone received health benefits.
There is something odd about this statement. While the Bernardin
Amendment, by creating a constitutional right to health care, would
indeed have mandated universal coverage, the amendment itself didn’t
dictate how universal coverage was to be achieved. So why did Obama
claim that the Bernardin Amendment would "change Illinois to a
single-payer system?"
