Eric Garcetti on Health Care

 

 


I'm a single-payer guy

As he traversed early presidential primary state South Carolina this week, a full two years before the Democratic presidential primary race here, Democratic insiders commended Garcetti for getting a head start.

On the stump, Garcetti is light on policy specifics and heavy on the type of hope-and-change rhetoric that launched a little-known Illinois senator with an unusual name to the presidency in 2008. He voices progressive ideals but tries to do so less antagonistically.

He has described himself as "a single-payer guy" on health care. He called for stricter gun restrictions in the wake of this month's Florida high school shooting. He's pro-choice. He prefers a "universal pathway to employment" over the universal basic income proposal some have offered. As a Mexican-American Jew, he proudly touts his own immigrant ancestry.
