What I like about this speech by JRE (some snips):

"Our healthcare system is dysfunctional. It does not work by any possible measure."

"In my plan we treat mental health exactly like the same way we treat physical health."

"And we are gonna make it so that you can take your health care with you when you move from one place to another, or if you get laid off. And the govt will help subsidize health insurance plans.
When you are negotiating your contract, you ought be negotiating your wages and pensions, and not health care coverage. We need Universal Health Care in the United States."

1. Thanks for posting this, benny05. Do you happen to know if

C-Span is going to run this or not?

Just wondering.

I think John Edwards knows a thing or two about his audience for this address.

4. Can you give this a K & R, OC and others who see this?

Don't know if this will be on CSPAN, but will check.
I think it's a great speech.

5. K&R for John and Elizabeth Edwards, and for unions, and for

Democrats who deserve better than George W. Bush.

You bet.

2. He's So Awesome!

3. Thanks for this information. I'm leaning, definitely leaning!

I've been operating on the principle that it is still too early, but since the primaries will basically boil down to money, maybe it's not too early.

8. Yes thank for posting this video

Health care does need fixing, John Edwards plan is good.

9. "He doesn't just talk about it in Union Halls..."

"He talks about it everywhere! John Edwards!"

That's right because Edwards speaks from the heart on issues that we believe in so passionately: lifting up all Americans, not just a selected few.

"THAT'S Democracy!"

10. CWA

The CWA is a great union and it is strong. I was a member of it myself when I was briefly in that industry. Keeping America strong and healthy.

11. Refreshing every time I hear him. He's got my vote and I'm more

certain of it every day...I want a normal human being in office.

K & R!

13. Presidential. I'm not just saying that because I think he has the best chance of beating Hillary.nt
