Dear John Edwards:
I am a strong supporter of your campaign and agree w/most of your policy ideas. There is one, however, that could be improved: your health care plan.

You say that we need to stand up against the corporations; I wholeheartedly agree. It's time for you to walk the talk when it comes to the for-profit insurance companies. Please consider getting on board w/Dennis Kucinich in calling for single-payer, not-for-profit, universal health care.

Respectfully,
Sapphire Blue

1. I like it!
Short and to the point. If he was a supporter of single payer, not for profit, universal health care...I would have no reservations about supporting him.

4. K&R
Edward's health care plan needs work.
I think that he would be unbeatable if he got onboard with Kucinich's plan.

5. Recommended #9 ALL our candidates should support
single-payer, not-for-profit, universal health care. Those who don't represent the insurance companies, not the American people.

9. Yes, they should. It should be part of the Democratic platform, too.

8. I don't know what this means, but I agree with all the above
Its time to get HMOs, & big insurance profiteers out of our health care system & if
JOHN EDWARDS only embraced a single payer system he'd be the perfect candidate.
