Obama's Plan to Cover Uninsured Americans: Obama will make available a new national health plan to all Americans, including the self-employed and small businesses, to buy affordable health coverage that is similar to the plan available to members of Congress.


1st bullet point of health plan, 1st section titled; Obama's Plan to Cover Uninsured Americans: -
Guaranteed eligibility. No American will be turned away from any insurance plan because of illness or pre-existing conditions.

ALSO STATES:
Insurers would have to issue every applicant a policy, and charge fair and stable premiums that will not depend upon health status. The Exchange will require that all the plans offered are at least as generous as the new public plan and have the same standards for quality and efficiency.

Elizabeth Edwards takes aim at Obama

John Edwards' wife Elizabeth blasted Barack Obama’s health care plan today, telling voters at an Iowa campaign stop that it would not cover her.

“I did a radio interview today, and I heard a radio commercial for Sen. Obama that indicated where it said in there that his health care program covered more Americans than either Sen. Clinton or John. That is actually not true,” said Edwards.

“There’s 15 million people or so — I’d be one of those — the hardest to insure …who are left out of his system.
It’s just kind of a complete untruth.”

Mrs. Edwards was alluding to her pre-existing condition.

Please note that Obama's health care plan proposal makes it possible for Mrs. Edwards to be insured under his plan.
