Under a universal, comprehensive, national single-payer health care system, the administrative waste of private insurance corporations would be redirected to patient care. If the United States were to shift to a system of universal coverage and a single payer plan, as in Canada and many European countries, the savings in administrative costs would be more than enough to offset the cost of additional care. Expenses for businesses currently providing coverage would be reduced, while state and local governments would pay less because they would receive reimbursement for services provided to the previously uninsured, and because public programs would cease to be the "dumping ground" for high-risk patients and those rejected by health maintenance organizations (HMOs) when they become disabled and unemployed.

The tax system should support our emergency switch to renewable energy to reverse climate change. I support removing all tax subsidies for the petroleum, natural gas, and nuclear industries, including the Price Anderson Act shielding the nuclear industry from bearing its full cost. I support tax subsidies for renewable energy as a minimum step in fighting climate change, since every second counts towards planetary survival. And Congress needs to end our massive farm bill tax subsidies for the four grains which are the basis of our snack foods, and instead provide a fair, free market for production of healthier fruits and vegetables.
