Candidate (Edwards) wants health insurance for all children...
Candidate wants health insurance for all children, with tax breaks for parents

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards wants to require parents to have health insurance for their children, making medical care an American birthright much like education.

The North Carolina senator wants $25 billion annually in tax credits to help parents pay the cost of enrolling their children in private or government plans.

1. Every child in the world
should have FREE health coverage.

In fact the whole world should be ONE community and share ALL natural resources with each other in the name of humanity.

2. yeah tax breaks
Which is exactly what poor people need. People are so out of damn touch. No matter, one day our non-socialized medicine is going to cause some damn plague and when the gated community people get sick, Then and ONLY then will they understand what they did.

5. Ever read Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death"
That's the basic story.

3. It's a very good plan.
And it's affordable. Don't forget all the bills Chimpy's been putting on the credit cards that we'll have to start paying off Jan 20, 2005.

4. Talk to me when we're discussing medical for adults.
Tax credits don't begin to cover the problem.

6. This plan is awful
Sure, the middle and the right are really going to go for a plan requiring anything. And besides that, it isn't even a good plan. Kerry's is way better, criminy, everybody else's is better. Either Edwards didn't have this explained correctly or he needs to retire. I like him as a personable candidate, but this is not good.
