Julian Castro: 'We should do Medicare for all in this country'

BY EMILY BIRNBAUM - 01/08/19 09:24 AM EST

ulián Castro became the latest Democrat to offer support for a single-payer health care system on Monday, saying he believed the nation needed universal health care.

"There is no reason, as many folks have pointed out, that in the richest nation on earth, anybody should go without health care," the former Housing and Urban Development secretary said, according to CNN. "I believe that we need universal health care, that we should do ... Medicare for all in this country."

Castro made the remarks during an event with Iowa Democrats at which he said the U.S. should "be the healthiest nation."

The former Obama administration official last month became the first Democrat to announce that he had set up an exploratory committee to run for president.
