John Edwards gives a synopsis of his universal health care plan here. This was part of his speech to the SEIU in September.

[waiting for hope]

1. Thanks! Nice video -

Here's a complimentary Op-Ed to go with it:

Letter: Edwards’ health care plan impresses me
Op-Ed · October 10, 2007

John Edwards’ health care plan continues to impress me. His plan bans pre-existing conditions, has complete mental health parity and covers everyone.

John Edwards has said exactly how he is going to pay for it as well, by rolling back the Bush tax cuts on folks who make over $200,000 a year. I’m excited that the Democrats want universal health care, but John, who has never taken money from pharmaceutical companies or their lobbyists, will stand toe-to-toe with these companies and has pledged, as president, to take insurance away from Congress and himself until every American is covered by quality health insurance.

I am convinced Edwards will deliver a healthcare plan that covers all Americans because he has been fighting the insurance companies his entire life and he has beat them every time.

3. Um. No.

Edwards was the first to come out with a universal health care plan and he came out with this plan in February.

4. No, Kucinich was the first to come out with a Universal HC plan.

As a matter of fact, Kucinich is the ONLY candidate for President with a plan for a Universal, Single-Payer, Not-for-Profit health care system.

As a matter of fact, he co-authored HR 676, legislation which would establish Medicare for All - a universal, single-payer, not-for-profit health care system that leaves no American behind.

He may not be a one of the "big three," but he's the one candidate who speaks for me, and he's way ahead of the others on most issues, especially universal, not for profit health CARE, as opposed to health INSURANCE.

5. That's more like it more fire in the belly. If there is no Gore & Edwards has a shot. I guess .....

...Edwards is the logical choice here. As long as he gives Kucinich a much deserved cabinet position or experimental trial of the Dept of Peace.
