Elizabeth Edwards Discusses Health
Elizabeth Edwards – wife of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards and currently a health care advisor to Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign – isn’t 100% behind the Democratic nominee’s health care plan.
“We’re on the verge of an Obama Presidency,” said Edwards at George Washington University Monday night, and “I’m not that fond of his plan.” Edwards complained that Obama – like his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain – views healthcare as a commodity, rather than a human right. Still, Edwards called the plan a step in the right direction – despite its lack of a “mandate for universality” – and said it wouldn’t scare people and politicians as had the Clinton administration’s attempt in 1993.
