Colin Powell’s Views On Healthcare Might Surprise You

When Colin Powell died earlier this week from complications of Covid-19, a flood of high praise for the retired general’s achievements and character poured into the media. Tributes were tempered only by the acknowledgment of Powell’s role in justifying the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and a less-than-gracious public statement from former president Trump. In the recounting of Powell’s legacy, little attention has been paid to his positions on domestic policy issues which fell outside his professional roles. But today, his stance on healthcare policy could help reframe the current political debate about how to reform the nation’s healthcare system. It may also be surprising: Powell supported a national, governmental program to pay for the healthcare needs of all Americans, also known as a single-payer system. Powell famously endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 elections, but in 2013, he voiced support for a much more progressive healthcare policy approach than Obama himself.
