I don't see anything in my positions post from '04 I would disagree with.
Of course, in some ways I've stayed the same while the activists in the party have moved left -- see drug policy most obviously, which I am still not in favor of legalizing for the most part -- but at least I am consistent!
... Well, now I would be much more insistent about us needing to be carbon neutral in the near future, and not just 'cut emissions before we destroy the planet' or something as I'd probably have said back then, but I'm mostly consistent.
As for health care, in the long term I support single payer but we can't go straight to it, there needs to be a transition, and it might take a while. Having some kind of legal private insurance on top of it may also be a reasonable idea.
