Reply #72: Oh, c'mon. This is semantics. Edwards needs better terminology.

And after all this hoopla, he'll get it. His advisors will make it happen.

There is no way you can make medical checkups mandatory, but there CAN be a massive public education campaign to persuade people to get them. Everybody will be covered under a universal health care program whether they get check ups or not, it's that simple and Edwards must know that.

I mean, if you deny people urgent health care because they skipped a doctor's appointment, what is the point of having universal health care in the first place?

This is a blip on the screen, folks. Calm down...
