John Edwards is not going to be the Democrats choice as candidate for President in 2008. The odds are roughly the same as me hitting the lottery while being struck by lightning as Joel Surnow asks me to be the new lead writer on 24. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen.
Still, it is hard to ignore views like this:
Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards said on Sunday that his universal health care proposal would require that Americans go to the doctor for preventive care.
“It requires that everybody be covered. It requires that everybody get preventive care,” he told a crowd sitting in lawn chairs in front of the Cedar County Courthouse. “If you are going to be in the system, you can’t choose not to go to the doctor for 20 years. You have to go in and be checked and make sure that you are OK.”
[...]
Edwards said his mandatory health care plan would cover preventive, chronic and long-term health care. The plan would include mental health care as well as dental and vision coverage for all Americans.
“The whole idea is a continuum of care, basically from birth to death,” he said.
And he is still running. Absurd.
