Elizabeth Edwards Also Thinks Obama's Health Care Plan is a Crock

If you want to know why John and Elizabeth Edwards haven't endorsed a candidate yet, look to today's NYT. In a piece that rightfully beats up MSM's coverage of this year's campaign, Elizabeth Edwards drops this:

And the future of news is not bright. Indeed, we’ve heard that CBS may cut its news division, and media consolidation is leading to one-size-fits-all journalism. The state of political campaigning is no better: without a press to push them, candidates whose proposals are not workable avoid the tough questions. All of this leaves voters uncertain about what approach makes the most sense for them. Worse still, it gives us permission to ignore issues and concentrate on things that don’t matter.

you may be right, but that could just as easily been a reference to mccain's health care "plan." i mean, i do think obama's plan is problematic. but the problem is not that it is "unworkable", it just doesn't achieve universal care.

mccain's collection of free-market slogans that passes for a plan really is unworkable.

You might be right, Noz. Except there's this:

Actually, Clinton's health care plan isn't universal either which, to my mind, makes all 3 of their health care plans a crock. Health care is a human rights issue; not a commodity.
