Reply #93: Edwards does not think the insurance companies will play nice [View All]

[Time for change]

He has made that absolutely clear, and his plan does not depend on the insurance companies playing nice.

His plan does not drain resources from the government to pay for private insurance. Just the opposite. His plan will result in tens of millions of Americans switching from private to government not-for-profit insurance. In addition, it will results in tens of millions of Americans who currently have NO insurance receiving government not-for-profit insurance. That is a huge advantage over what we have now. Billions of dollars will be devoted to providing subsidies for those without health insurance being able to now receive it.

This is not a DEfunding of Medicare. It is just the opposite. It is a plan that will allow tens of millions of Americans to receive a Medicare like program.
