John Edwards and Hillary views coincide
I watched John speak yesterday, and he was good. I saw him on C-Span speaking to the young democrats. He spoke a lot about Universal health care, and how he feels strongly that everyone should have Universal health care. It seems pretty clear to me that as strongly as he feels on this subject he will throw his support to Hillary. They hold many of the same views and would make a good team as President and Vice President. I want Universal health care for everyone. My family is very well covered, but I would like to see everyone have health coverage.

9. He may have spoken on corporate whorism
I really don't know. I missed part of his speech. I was just so thrilled when I heard him and watched him speak on Universal health care. It convinced me that he would throw his support to Hillary. I really pray he will.

7. Love that picture
I have one just like it. actually John Edwards has been for Universal health care all along. Did you not watch any debates? He has spoken of it when he had an opportunity to speak. Most usually the debate questioners gave Hillary and Obama the most attention. That is why we end up with Hillary and Obama. I was for John Edwards, and the things Hillary and Obama speak of now, are the very things that John Edwards spoke of in the debates. Yes he is for the poor, and they really need coverage. It just seems to me that if he wants "universal" health care, he will support Hillary. Obama only wants it for children according to his replies in the debates.

4. Hillary has already had one chance to provide that 15 years ago
And failed miserably!

Why would you give her another chance to fail again?

6. Mandated health insurance from for-profit insurance companies isn't universal health care.

11. If you are going to disagree, at least have the facts
The plan for mandated health care is with public services and private companies. Those who want private companies can stick with them, the others go to public (government) services. It is really quite simple to understand.

12. Are you in favor of mandatory garnishing of wages for health care?

13. John Edwards is a better person
than Hillary could hope to be even on her best day. Hillary is a "fighter" who plays dirty. She only fights for her political survival. Whereas John Edwards fights for the people. Barack Obama and John Edwards should have been the last two standing (if Biden wasn't going to be taken seriously).
