Howard Dean: Mandate Delay Begins Shift To Government-Financed Health Care System

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean on Wednesday praised the White House's decision to delay a key provision of President Barack Obama's health-care reform law until 2015, which would have required employers to provide health insurance for their workers, because he thinks it signals a shift away from employee health care toward government-run health care.

Dean, a practicing physician before entering politics, told CNBC the delay of Obamacare's employer mandate could come with an "unintended consequence."
"I think what will happen is more people will migrate out of the employer-based health insurance and into the exchanges," Dean said on CNBC's "Squawk Box," suggesting a shift toward a single-payer health-care system, in which the government, rather than private insurers, pays for all health-care costs.

"And I think in the long run that's good, because I think in the long run I've always believed that you've got to divorce employment from health insurance in this country for a large number of reasons."
