"If elected to Congress, I would advocate Medicare for all. We have Social Security for old age, so let's have Health Security for the sick. We can finance this plan through a 4% contribution from both the employer and employee. The funds will accrue just like Social Security funds do, as every worker contributes and then draws them in times of sickness."

"As a candidate for the United States Congress, Third District of Tennessee, I challenge each of my opponents to state unequivocally that he or she will never privatize Social Security. I ask them to stipulate that Social Security has a surplus of well over 2 Trillion Dollars and will be solvent until 2037, even if we do nothing. Because Social Security contributions are on budget, I ask my opponents to further stipulate that this massive Social Security surplus has served to stabilize the national debt and thereby reduced the government's borrowing costs."
