Edwards health care plan was described by him as he speaks now in Iowa ..
The mandates that everyone complains about mean that health care is mandated. The government will subsidize your health care 100% for the poorest, and continue subsidies, according to income, up to $100,000.

1. The health marts
Has he given any more details about the government insurance program which will compete against the private sector to keep them (dis)honest, and lay the path for universal health care.

2. He didn't in this speech, but he showed a booklet in which he has stated
his plans. I'm sure one can get it on his website.

3. So much for those who claim he's mandating people to get health insurance
Setting the subsidized limit at $100K is more than enough to make sure the poor and middle-class are covered without adding any new bills to their mailboxes.

6. Plus, there would be no denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions ..
or for any reason, I assume.
His plan would include coverage for psychiatric.

7. the description of his health care plan is not in the video clip
on youtube. It was one of the first questions, and unfortunately this video doesn't include the part where he takes questions. A woman told of how she (or her daughter?) lost her job and had to go on disability, but with that small income, she can't afford health insurance for her three kids (she's a single mom).

8. K&R!
Let's keep this kicked - there seems to be a misconception about Edwards Health Care plan. But, sadly, some won't see it.
