Edwards slams McCain plan

Bonita Springs, FL — Elizabeth Edwards, who has quickly become the go-to voice in opposition to the McCain health care plan plan, lambasted the presumptive GOP nominee’s speech today as “the most radical plan ever suggested by a presidential candidate.”

“”We need to move towards universal coverage. The Democrats have plans that with those goals in mind and Senator McCain’s plan seems to have only the insurance companies in mind. It’s a tremendous disappointment,” Edwards said in a conference call hosted by the Center for American Progress.

Responding to McCain’s criticism that that the Democrats’ plans for universal health care would create an “inefficient” government monopoly, Edwards said the Republican needed to look in the mirror.

“Nobody on the Democratic side is proposing anything nearly as radical, or nearly as government-centric as what Senator McCain is suggesting,” Edwards said. “If you’re poor or you’re sick, you are going to find it extraordinarily difficult to purchase insurance. It will be much more expensive for you, if it’s available at all.”

Edwards also couldn’t resist painting McCain as a flip-flopper on the health insurance issue.

“It used to be that Senator McCain was the person you looked for to stand up to special interests like the insurance companies. We are seeing a different John McCain now,” she said, adding that he is now “capitulating” to industry interests.

Loved the news today. Bush was his old ignorant self spouting whatever his mind got tangled up.

Turns out that BUSH doesn’t know his Hamas from a hole in the ground. What a mouth-breather.

Edwards is a wuss. Can’t he find any more people to sue?

About time Bush told that do nothing congress to do something for the people.

TO MY FELLOW AMERICANS,

PREVIOUSLY - BARRACK OBAMA HAS FOUND TWO WORDS - “FORMER PASTOR” W/C ARE GOOD
EXCUSE WHENEVER HE ADDRESS NEWS MEDIA TO DEFEND HIS ASSOCIATIONS WITH
THIS RACIST JEREMIAH WRIGHT Jr…

THIS RACIST PASTOR GAVE US A CLUE ABOUT OBAMA WHEN HE SAID:
“AS A POLITICIAN, OBAMA WILL ALWAYS SPEAK AS POLITICIAN FOR ELECTABILTY SAKE…”

FOR THE LAST MONTH WE CAN NOTICE THESE TWO WORDS “FORMER PASTOR” EVERY TIME HE WILL COMMENT ABOUT HIS ASSOCIATION TO JEREMIAH WRIGHT Jr. FOR 20 YRS.
- BUT WILL NEVER DISOWN HIM…

ONE POET SAID: “OUR PAST WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF OUR FUTURE”…

BY NOT DISOWNING THIS “FORMER PASTOR” MEANS HE IS STILL PART OF HIM…

HERE ARE OBAMA’S WORDS AS OF TODAY :

REMEMBER - “OBAMA SPEAK LIKE A POLITICIAN!!” SEE IF HE WILL DISOWN HIM???

“Moving forward, Reverend Wright does not speak for me, he does not speak for my campaign,” he said, adding “I cannot prevent him from continuing to make these outrageous remarks.”

He continued, “I want to use this press conference to make people absolutely clear that obviously whatever relationship I had with Reverend Wright has changed as a consequence of this. I don’t think that he showed much concern for me.”

“What Reverend Wright said yesterday directly contradicts everything that I have done during my life,” he said.

Democratic strategist Steve Murphy told FOX News that Obama’s statements Tuesday should play a positive effect on his campaign. (”SPEAK LIKE A POLITICIAN” & “HOPE OF A POLITICIAN”

“People are going to say that Barack Obama should have done this a long time ago, but what’s important in a political campaign is that you have done the right thing, and I think most Americans would agree that Barack Obama now has done that,” -”SPEAK LIKE A POLITICIAN”.. he said.

HAVE YOU READ AND HEARD IF OBAMA DISOWN MR. JEREMIAH WRIGHT Jr.???

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

- OBAMA WILL SPEAK LIKE A POLITICIAN AND TOLD WRIGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE

APEARING TO NEWS MEDIA… WHAT NEXT AFTER ELECTION??? WE DON’T KNOW!!!!

AMERICANS SHOULD BE WARNED - “IF OBAMA BECOMES A PRESIDENT ?????”

THIS THE “DAY OF RECKONING” FOR THE BLACK PEOPLE WHO KEEP PROPAGATING THE
BLACK NEGATIVE HISTORY IN THE AMERICAN HISTORY TO GIVE REASONS OR
ENOUGH JUSTIFICATIONS TO MAKE WHITE PEOPLE SUFFER WHAT THEY SUFFERED.

“THEY ARE NOW EVEN THREATENING THAT IF OBAMA LOST THE DEMORATIC NOMINATION
THERE WILL BE CHAOS WHICH IS WORST THAN WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE…”

“THE ONLY SOLUTION IS IF OBAMA WILL LOSE THE REMAINING PRIMARIES TO VOID
THEIR ARGUMENT THAT OBAMA WON THE MOST DELEGATES AND THE POPULAR VOTES…”

ALL AMERICANS SHOULD UNITE TO STOP THIS PLAN OF THE FAR LEFT WING LIBERAL WHICH ARE SUPPORTED BY SOME TERRORIST GROUP TO DESTROY AMERICA…

AMERICAN HATERS:
“FARRACKHAN”
“W. AYERS”
“WRIGHT Jr.”
“HAMAS GROUP”
“ARAB EXTREMISTS GROUP”
“MUSLIM EXTREMISTS GROUP”
“MICHELLE OBAMA”
“AND MORE WHO DON’T WANT TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES TO PROTECT OBAMA’S WIN!!!”

“AMERICA WAKE-UP”

VOTE SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON!!! AS PRESIDENT OF THE “UNITED” STATES OF AMERICA!!!

 
Comment by JRod

Rj: thanks for posting a long, boring message that has nothing to do with the topic on this blog. I think McCain’s plan is interesting, but it does seem to avoid the issue of high premiums, which will only come down if we pass legislation that is tough on the insurance companies.

I hate to agree with Edwards, but it looks like McCain hasn’t thought his plan through very well.

 
Comment by JIM

THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO SOCIALIZE MEDICINE AND HEALTH CARE IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!IF YOU THINK HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA IS LACKING, JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF WE GET SOCIALIZED MEDICAL CARE!!!! IT DOES NOT WORK AND IT IS VERY, VERY COSTLY!!!! CHECK OUT CANADA, ENGLAND, CHINA, SOVIET UNION AND OTHER COUNTRIES WITH GOVERNMENT RUN MEDICAL CARE!!!! THE QUALITY OF CARE IS DRASTICALLY REDUCED!!!! WE HAD BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL WHAT WE WISH FOR. WE MAY JUST GET IT AND IT WANT BE NICE!!!!!

 
Comment by JRod

Jim, Jim, Jim. Where are you getting your information regarding health care from these countries? The United States spends far more on health care than other countries that have national health insurance, and I have yet to see any real evidence that shows lower quality in other countries.

In fact, Canada, the UK, and other European countries have higher life expectancies than the United States, while spending far less to cover the health care needs of all their citizens. I think there are drawbacks to a national health insurance scheme, but I wonder if those weaknesses would be better than what we have right now in the United States.

 
Comment by CAROLINA

TOO LITTLE — TOO LATE. AGAIN, HE WAS “FORCED” TO ADMIT ANOTHER LIE!

Today, Obama threw his mentor-pastor under the bus. He will say or do anything to get what he wants. Obama is a typical politician and will say what folks want to hear.

A few weeks ago, Obama threw his typical white grandmother under the bus, trying to protect Jeremiah Wright. At that time, he said, “I can no more disown the man, than disown the black community”. This tells us that he didn’t “disagree” with Wright. That’s not surprising since he had a 20-year relationship with Wright and kept attending the church.

Obama has been so deeply rooted in Wright that he could never serve ALL the people of America. Don’t forget his wife’s anti-American comments and his ties to Rezko, Ayers, Farrakhan, Sinclair and many others.

VOTE HILLARY 2008!

 
Comment by JRod

Yes, and Senator Clinton never says something just because its what people want to hear.

 
Comment by Take action against high fuel prices now

Obama, Clinton, and McCain are getting alot of questions about high gasoline prices.

TV news people are talking about possible $4/gallon gas this summer.

Environmental extremism has alot to do with these high prices.

Global Warming is a hoax and a false religion the roots of which come from some liberal political groups

hatred of capitalism and freedom and modern life as we know it for polluting the world and the

atmosphere and a false belief that this is causing worldwide climate change.

Most rational minded scholars, scientists and meteorologists do not share this radical politically motivated

view of climate change and make a convincing scientific argument against it.

Lawsuits filed by so-called environmentalists against every effort by energy providers to bring

fuel to market have driven up consumer prices to record levels and will go even higher.

Please understand that you can combat this trend by becoming educated on this subject and demand

that politicians denounce Global Warming and put a stop to dangerous environmental extremism

and environmental lawsuits against energy providers. Do a Google search on Global Warming Debunked

to get started. Write letters to your school board and let them know you don’t want your children

indoctrinated with only one side of the global warming debate. Democrats attack energy providers

for making a profit instead of admitting their own extreme and false environmental ideology is

the true cause of todays high costs of doing business. Democrats are against oil, natural gas,

coal, and nuclear energy development in our own country. Make no mistake about it, Democrats

are enemies of energy producers and the buck stops at their desks for our current economic situation.

Please keep this and the price of your fuel in mind when voting this November.

McBush you and Hillary don’T understand we can ‘t affford health insurance and both of your plans stink.Hillary what do i do if i dont have a job because there r none out there.I can’T afford health care i dont care what plan you come up in the long run we american will still be hurting.
GOV. should be telling us american what we need.

 
Comment by americanwoman

GOV. shouldn”t us what we need.
Sorry i spelled a word wrong.

 
Comment by Mr. J

Well one thing is for sure. If we are going to take care of everyone we will be creating thousands of jobs in the medical profession. As it is right now we don’t have enough qualified people to take on the task. If it was regulated peoples schooling could be on the job training. I can see many benifits on many levels.

Comment by Vonay

With Hillary Clinton’s Health Care plan…….ALl people will be covered, with the same insurance that the whole Government has.

The premiums will be very, very low, and if you can’t afford it, it will be paid for you.

Now how good is that?!!

But the only way it will work and be very low cost for people is, everyone must be covered.

Elizabeth Edwards has aid Hillary’s plan is the best plan.

I don’t know about you but I for one would like the health care plan that all the big wigs in DC enjoy.

Comment by Tim

Look, the only thing McCain know is WAR. He’s clueless when it comes to anything else but WAR and he doesn’t even know that too well.

Not only will he support President Bush’s 50 year plan to stay in IRAQ, but he’ll raise him 50 years and pledge to devise a plan to stay in Iraq for 100 years. He’s willing to spend trillions of tax payers dollars on doing the only thing he knows and that’s WAR.

McCain is also supporting President Bush eventual WAR with IRAN. George Bush’s administration forced admiral Fallon out because he didn’t agree with their plan to go to war with IRAN and now they are planning on promoting Gen. Patreous to Admiral Fallon’s old spot because Patreous is going along with the IRAN WAR plan like I SAID after his congressional testimony….. Most of YOU right-wing clowns thought I didn’t know what I was talking about, but I was right AGAIN!

You had to have your head in your arse not to see that coming….oh, that’s right, most of these clowns supporting Hillary and McCain do have their head in their arse. :)

This country is headed for an economic collapse and all that’s needed to seal the deal is John McCain as President! Oh, btw, the rich will get richer and the poor will become destitute when the economy goes into a depression. If John McCain is elected President and our economy collapse remember that I told you clowns this would happen

Of coarse they will blame it on the WARs! The Big Bankers that runs this planent are pulling all the strings and you clowns don’t even know that you are being manipulated. Yeah, I know, call me a conspiracy theorist! LOL! We’ll see who’s right in the end …. :)

Comment by kathy WI

Heck, I’d like Congresses retirement plan and other perks. Work (and thats questionable) 4 years and get a pension for life!. Give them selves raises every year, expsenses paid. Shoot, we’re in the wrong business.
other than that they can leave my Health Ins alone. We don’t need another failed social program. We have enough of them already and are paying for them. WE always end up paying for these programs one way or the other. Where do you think the gov. gets the money from.?
What do they take out of your check now for SS? Lets say 7%. Employer pays 7% directly instead of to your wages. So, if you make 50,000 that is $7,000 a year. Then you go on Medicare and the premiums go up every year and they “take” it out of your SS check. So, your s.s. raise is eaten up by the medicare raise. Mean time your property taxes are going up to pay for your schools and other City, County, State employees wages and perks and services.
So, if your looking for a job go find a civil service one or any gov. employer.

 
Comment by RC MO.

Universal health care is BS. You are not going to get the same coverage as Hillary Clinton. You are going to get the same coverage as a welfare mom at a free clinic. All day waits, and subpar doctors. You won`t have any say about anything. It`s one step towards communism. How many people in this country work in the health insurance industry? It`s just a Government monopoly.

I wonder if we water boarded Obama we could finally get the truth out of him. Maybe we could just water balloon him a little and make him cry “Uncle Jeremiah”.

 
Comment by Jeff X

I pay NOTHING for my health insurance coverage. I’ve worked my way up and it took 30 years to get to this level. I’ll be d**ned if I’m going to give THAT up to pay into a crummy plan because people decide a computer, wide screen TV, cell phones, a house 3 times bigger than mine, and two cars are MORE important than providing health care for their families.

So, who do you think is paying right now for all the un-insured people? We are.

The people who have insurance pay about triple or more because of all the ones who are NOT
insured.
That’s how hospitals make up the difference. They charge us more.
if everyone is covered the cost will go down… way down.

Elizabeth Edwards is an idiot. What does she know? Her flunky husband could even fair respectfully against an African American and a woman in a race for a position that has never been held by either. What a clown. Now she thinks she is the go to person for health care. I’ve got a great idea, how about all the lazy losers who are sucking up public dollars on welfare get off there lazy A$% and get a job. How about that? And how about giving up the two pack a day smoking habit and the alcohol and pay your own way. How about that?

Call me crazy, but why is it that those who are willing to do the least to better themselves are the ones that complain the most? Just ridiculous.

Edwards the “Breck Girl” is too busy looking at himself in a mirror to have any time for actual deep thoughts. In a lot of ways he’s like a 14 year old giggling teen girl.

So let me get this straight. I’ve worked hard full time over 30 years, lived a modest life style,
saved a little money, and got myself into a position where I can afford good health care for my family; only to be throw into a crappy plan where I get the same “service” as some drunken bum/druggie burnout that spent his years partying and making nothing of himself?!

I am really tired of hearing about the government giving all Americans health insurance. The government already does a poor job of monitoring medicaid and medicare. So they can make a new system and monitor all 500 billion of us!! And I am also really tired of the democrats crying for the poor to have health insurance. In Arizona, the poor have the best medical coverage (medicaid). They go to the hosptal for everything. They have a cold - they go to the ER. They have a headache - they go to the ER. No co-pay and no deductible! What a waste of taxpayer money!! Where is all of this money for health care supposed to come from. I am so tired of paying more taxes just because I work. I work so that I can make money and support myself. That is the responsible thing to do. Instead democrats want everyone to be irresponsible. I’ll beat them to the punch. I’ll quit my job and live off of the taxpayers!! That’s the democrat thing to do!!

Bill Clinton & the Genie

Bill Clinton was walking along the beach when he stumbled upon a Genie’s lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and lo-and-behold, a Genie appeared. Bill was amazed and asked if he got three wishes.

The Genie said, “Nope…Due to inflation, constant downswing, low wages in third world countries, and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So…What’ll it be?”

Bill didn’t hesitate. He said, “I want to be remembered for bringing peace to the Middle East, instead of that other stuff with Monica, and Jennifer, and the rest of those women. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other.”

The Genie looked at the map of the Middle East and exclaimed, “Jeez, Fella! These people have been at war for thousands of years. I’m good, but not THAT good. I don’t think it can be done. Make another wish.”

Bill thought for a minute and said, “You know, people really don’t like my wife. Even though she got elected, they call her a carpetbagger. They think she’s mean, ugly, and pushes me around. I wish for her to be the most beautiful woman in the world and I want everybody to like her. That’s what I want.”

The Genie let out a long sigh and said, “Lemme see that map again.”

i have co-workers who worked for 25 + years, old enough to retire but afraid to because they can’t afford the health insurance once they leave the workplace. nobody can really completely retire especially if you’re middle class. the system is just not clear or stable. it’s crazy. they are afraid that the rule of the game will change because a lot of group of workers are competing for funds. it’s too complex and we need somebody who is involved and has in-depth knowledge of health care issues to make sense of this and to make sensible changes. everybody must have some form of health insurance. it’s delusional to think that those who have insurance are not paying for those who do not. they get charge more in underhanded way. private and gov’t. health insurance must work very hard to prevent mismanagement of funds and other wastage. something has to be done. it’s humiliating not too have insurance. i feel bad for those people who do not have insurance. they seem to be treated like criminals—i have to look away and pretend not to hear anything when they are being ask about payment etc. some waiting rooms are not big. insurance card has become a status symbol. it must not be this way. to those who are contemptuos of those who do not have the means, be mindful , because with the economy tanking and other mishaps, you might be in their shoes too. everybody must be treated with dignity—let those who can pay, pay what they can.

PELOSI, DEAN, REID, KENNEDY AND KERRY HAVE DESTROYED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. WE HAVE 50 STATES — NOT 48. I REALIZE PELOSI WANTS TO BE THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT BUT SHE SHOULD NOT DESTROY THE PARTY IN THE PROCESS!

Obama has had plenty of opportunities, during this race, AND during the past 20 years, to do what he did on April 29, but Rev. Wright had never put Obama down before. That made him willing to turn against the pastor, who — a few weeks ago Obama said that he could never turn from. Obama will say anything to get what he wants.

Because he has now disrespected Obama, Obama is now willing to confront Wright’s horrible remarks — one by one. HE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS AT LEAST A YEAR AGO! TOO LITTLE — TOO LATE.

Obama listened to and approved of Wright for 20 years. It’s impossible to believe that he never heard Wright’s radical rants. Obama is not that stupid. This is the very philosophy of the church that he has attended for years. If he has that much “blindness” on something as important as foundational philosophical beliefs of his own church, why would he think he could deal with crafty foreign leaders and run our country?

If you listen to Michelle Obama, it certainly sounds like she has heard and believed the teachings against America, that have been preached by her pastor. Don’t forget Obama’s ties to Ayers, Rezko, Farrakhan, Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, and many other anti-Americans and terrorists.

May God help us to have the grace and love to do what s right for our country — no matter what our skin color. Race is a factor — we are all members of the Human Race!

Hillary or McCain!

Comment by EJ

As usual, you are all blasting John Edwards for what his wife Elizabeth says. You are so ridiculous. I think Elizabeth Edwards is a very intelligent, compassionate and moral person and I believe John is. I know for a fact that most of the law suits he has tried are ones where the public was being bamboozled by big business firms. I know of several first hand.

As far as health insurance, Senator Clinton has said over and over again (anyone listening???) that if you are happy with the plan you have now, you can keep it. That’s a plus that the other plans don’t have. But for those of you who think that because you have a great insurance plan now while you are employed, that you will ge the same “deal” when you retire, you have a rude awakening. I, too, had worked my way up the ladder and had wonderful health care that cost me very little while I was employed, but due to Mr. Bush sending my job overseas, I took early retirement, only a couple of years early, but now my supplemental insurance plan, which is the same plan I was covered under while working, now cost me approximately $5,000/yr for just my husband and me. That’s not taking into account what we pay in SS and the co pay we have for medical and prescriptions and we feel fortunate when speaking with others who are in much worse shape than we are. I, for one, would like to see some type of plan that will not make those who do work and pay their own way, not have to take up the slack for those who do not work or who are not responsible enough to keep insurance. I don’t really like government in our life so much either, but I don’t see any other way that it could work. Something has to be done about high health costs, which will not happen without some type of government control.

OK so let me get this straight…you want the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to make your health care decisions for you………….hahahahahahahahahaha.

Just look what happened with the education in this country when the government got involved.

NO THANK YOU, I will make the decisions for my health care and that of my kids and guess what…I’ll pay for the services rendered. Even if I have to make payments.
(which I had to do for the birth of my first child since I had NO insurance)

 
Comment by Fourboys

Mrs. Edwards,

Insurance wouldn’t be so high if lawyers like your husband wouldn’t make their living trying to sue every hospital , doctor and medical worker out of a job.

So how are those millions your husband recieved at the expense of the insurance companies???
