Which Democratic presidential-primary candidates have advocated Single Payer

...from 1972 onward (that being when the current primary system was first used)?

I can name Jesse Jackson, Dennis Kucinich, and Bernie Sanders.

Are there others?

I should have voted for Jesse. I may have voted for him in '84 but I don't remember. I voted for Kucinich and Sanders.

I wonder if Sanders will pick Jesse as his VP. Oops. I forgot about the coronation. I slipped for a moment and thought we lived in a democracy. Silly me.

Oh, and I don't know the answer to your question. Sorry.

...since his values were closest to mine.

But by the time of the MN Caucus, the nominee was clearly going to be Obama or Clinton, and so I voted for Obama.
