Tim Kaine supports the concept of Single Payer...

(...as do most Democrats).

I heard him speak today after his stint on MTP. He's engaging, focused, and while he might be considered the "safe" choice for Clinton's VP, he won't be a dull one.

after all, including our presumptive nominee, who's been heavily involved in healthcare reform and has supported it for decades. Do you think that was a pre-VP-ial message to the anti-ACA left?

How really interesting to hear that Tim Kaine is not dull in action. I don't remember watching him and have only seen, well, this "nice guy" face.

Nice man. Real snooze. And it doesn't matter what he thinks about single-payer unless the POTUS fights for it and that clearly won't happen.
