Edwards releases health care plan
Sen. Edwards took last week to announce his health care plan which was completely drowned out by the ClintObama catfight (rwar!).
John Edwards has a bold plan to transform America's health care system and provide universal health care for every man, woman and child in America.Under the Edwards Plan:
* Families without insurance will get coverage at an affordable price.
* Families with insurance will pay less and get more security and choices.
* Businesses and other employers will find it cheaper and easier to insure their workers.The Edwards Plan achieves universal coverage by:
* Requiring businesses and other employers to either cover their employees or help finance their health insurance.
* Making insurance affordable by creating new tax credits, expanding Medicaid and SCHIP, reforming insurance laws, and taking innovative steps to contain health care costs.
* Creating regional "Health Markets" to let every American share the bargaining power to purchase an affordable, high-quality health plan, increase choices among insurance plans, and cut costs for businesses offering insurance.
* Once these steps have been taken, requiring all American residents to get insurance.Securing universal healthcare for every American will require the active involvement of millions of Americans.
Love the plan and I think it's great that he's rolling it out early. I still think this race is going to come down to Edwards and Obama. Last week kinda made that clear to me. While both Obama and Clinton staffs came across as petty bitches, Obama had THE money quote
"It's not clear to me why I'd be apologizing for someone else's remark,"
and came away with the win vs. Hizzally. However, Edwards by staying out of it altogether, came away the winner for the week.
The loser? Bill Richardson
Another Democratic presidential candidate, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, said at the candidate forum that Obama should denounce Geffen's comments. "We Democrats should all sign a pledge that we all be positive," Richardson said.
Pussy. I hope he's the next one to jump out of the race.
