Looking into the Edwards' health care plan.


At Truthout.org, they have some analysis of John Edwards' plan for US health care by Paul Krugman.




Among the twists in his plan:
People who don't get insurance from their employers wouldn't have to deal individually with insurance companies: they'd purchase insurance through "Health Markets": government-run bodies negotiating with insurance companies on the public's behalf. People would, in effect, be buying insurance from the government, with only the business of paying medical bills - not the function of granting insurance in the first place - outsourced to private insurers.


Take a look.
