One speech I heard Edwards say, he will take 160 billion from BUsh's tax cuts. 160 BILLION costs the US MORE, not less. It's the reason the US is so uncompetitive. And in order to keep the insurance companies screwing us with absurd premimums, which will still continue; Edwards wants to butress medicaid. .
Don't think of your pocket book, the issue is, is the system sustainable for ALL of the country. Edwards initial plan will increase medical expenses for the US 160 billion, by his last speech. Health Professionals Say the Kucinich Single Payer plan will save the whoe of the United States, 1.1 TRILLiON over a decade.
Edwards does say, he will require insurance companies to reduce administrative costs. Believe that at your own risk. That is a line of Bull ****..


Paying the price


Edwards has faced criticism for his universal health care plan, in part because it would raise taxes and could cost $90 billion to $120 billion.

Edwards said Detroit, where General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group spend $16 billion annually on health care costs and are expected to pay $114 billion in future retiree benefits, is indicative of health care ailments felt nationwide.
