Is it possible to be for a single payer health care plan, then not be for a single payer health care plan?

Below are 2 quotes from the same person. Anyone want to venture a guess as to who said the following?

“I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody."

Sounds like he supports a single payer plan, no?

"I Have Not Said That I Was a Single-Payer Supporter’……`I believe it would be too disruptive"

Wait a minute. Now it sounds like he doesn't support a single payer plan. What gives?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
