The Edwards Plan

I've been trying to find a summary of the Edwards plan unblemished by opinion/criticism/odds-making, and so far all I've found is the same article written several different ways, and no synopsis.

No wonder we're having a tough time engaging in a substantitive debate.

Most of the headlines include the words "taxes". Almost all lead with some version of "cost $120 billion more" than today's health care budget.

With all the media we have, you'd think a few would be able to write a story from a slightly different angle. Alas.

I agree. The Edwards plan sets the bar pretty low after Wyden's. Wyden's calls for eliminating the tie between employment and insurance and disbanding Medicaid. Two things I am wholeheartedly behind, even if my current paycheck does rely on how terribly administered Medicaid is.

The Edwards website has a 7-page PDF of the health reform plan available for download. http://johnedwards.com/about/issues/health-care-overview.pdf
