Question about the Dem Candidates and health insurance
Advertisements [?]
What are the Dem Candidate's positions/views on health insurance?

My understanding is that:

- Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate who is for a single-payer system (like Medicare) for the entire country.

- Hillary Clinton supports the idea of requiring everyone to purchase health insurance through insurance companies (similar to how automobile owners must purchase automobile insurance)....although how some people will manage to financially "pull that off" remains a mystery or what would happen if someone doesn't/can't purchase the mandated insurance.

- Barack Obama ???

- John Edwards ???

-------

Any help in clearly understanding the candidate's positions on this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
MYH
