100. Nothing is compulsory, each person can choose their insurance
Today's Edwards attack-fest is based on misinformation and outright bullshit. ("government doctors")

Check out Edwards health care PDF on his site. There you can read about with his Health Care Markets concept.
Within this concept, the Markets would offer at least one government option, essentially Medicare for all.
People could choose from private and public options.

Edwards said, quite clearly, "If you're going to be in the system...."

If you opt for the government "Medicare for All" option (lower cost, more benefits) then you will be required to visit your doctor once a year. This will save lives and lower costs in the long-term.
These check-ups would be free under the Edwards plan.

If someone feels that this is an outrageous infringement on their liberty, then they are free to buy their insurance elsewhere.

(Maybe this phony tempest in a tea pot is designed to sidetrack us from Edwards' endorsement today by the Steel Workers and the Mine Workers?)
