Ralph Nader proposes Medicare for all

Just when it seemed like things couldn't possibly get any more crazy in this year's election, this past weekend Ralph Nader decided to throw his hat into the ring.

The third-party, independent candidate made his announcement this past Sunday. If he is able to get enough signatures, Nader's name will once again appear on the presidential ballot. What does Nader bring to the table that the other candidate's don't? Well, according to Mr. Nader, there are several things. But, what many people find most intriguing is his proposed "Medicare for All" program.

Whereas all other candidates have not supported single payer health insurance, Nader is a proponent of such a system. On his website, www.votenader.org, he states that he supports a "Canadian style, free choice, Medicare for all health care system."

How do you feel about Mr. Nader's efforts to join the race for the presidency? And, do you think his Medicare for all program is a good idea?
