Vietnam. but i m sharing it today. because other people are talking, too. congressman, thank you for sharing and thank you for your service. thank you for your service. [ applause ] on that question is from nick verneault a student at georgia tech studying chemistry. hi congressman. you are a scientist. you wouldn t fit in very well in congress. on your website it states that you believe americans deserve affordable healthcare. why do you stop short of supporting a single payer system? that s a great question. i m so sure you asked it. my view is what president obama planned. which is that we should have a public option like medicare for all or hopefully a more modern version of medicare since it was designed in 1963. but that should compete against private options as well because competition is good for the system. it keeps prices down. ....
