Reply #4: John Edwards healthcare plan.

[justgamma]

"Creating regional "Health Care Markets" to let every American share the bargaining power to purchase an affordable, high-quality health plan, increase choices among insurance plans, and cut costs for businesses offering insurance."

In the fliers he passed out, he said that "at least one plan would be based on Medicare. Over time, the system may evolve into single payer approach if the public plan offers better care at a better price".

He knows that this is a gradual plan, but he's realistic about the fact that the pukes will never go along with single payer.

I don't know why he doesn't put the whole thing on his website. Maybe he doesn't want to scare the pukes.
