55057, John Edwards - No Excuse for the Pres and Congress to Have Health Care When America Doesn't Have It
Posted by jsamuel on Mon Sep-17-07 03:03 PM

The campaign of fellow Democrat John Edwards, which has already put out a detailed a health care plan, will up the ante Monday during a speech to the Laborers' International Union of North America in Chicago, Illinois, campaign sources said.

The Edwards proposal would cut off health care for the president, Congress and all political appointees in mid 2009, if a universal health care plan for all Americans has not been passed by then.

Edwards is expected to outline "basic principles" the health care plan would have to meet, the sources.

"The cost of failure 14 years ago isn’t anybody’s scars or political fortune, it’s the millions of Americans who have now gone without health care for more than 14 years and the millions more still crushed by the costs.

"So I’m glad that, today, the architect of the 1993 plan has another care proposal - and if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then I’m flattered.

"But unless Senator Clinton’s willing to acknowledge the truth about our broken government and the cost of health care reform, I’m afraid flattery will get us nowhere."

2. Now if he would just advocate mandatory random drug testing for all politicians..

Health insurance is a good start but we need to treat our politicians as the employees they really are.

They need to piss in a jar to prove their innocence.

And our families have the best health care in the world !
