t: 5px; margin-left: 5px; width: 100%;">I was wrong.
<br />
<br /> To clarify;
<br />
<br /> Kucinich supports a universal national single-payer health care =
system which is
<br /> the position of the Green Party platform.
<br />
<br /> No other Democratic or Republican candidate supports our positio=
n, which I
<br /> understand was the position of the Democratic Party platfom from=
the time of
<br /> Harry Truman until Bill Clinton was nominated for President in 1=
992. Please
<br /> correct me if I'm wrong. I feel that what was once a majority po=
sition in the
<br /> Democratic Party has been swept away in the Party's movement to =
the right.
