I am in favor of single-payer health insurance

Q: How would you protect Social Security for today's seniors and strengthen it for future generations?

A: Preventive health care is an essential investment in both our physical and financial health. To better meet these needs I am in favor of single-payer health insurance. I will also do everything in my power to protect Social Security and Medicare.

ObamaCare is a step in the right direction

There are sick people unable to get medical attention

Quote of the day from Charlie: "There are sick people in Wyoming who are unable to go and get the medical attention they want. There are kids who want to continue their education, but they can't. We must run, and we must win because of all of these things." Source: 2014 Wyoming Senate campaign website, RunWithCharlie2014.com , Feb 18, 2014
