If any of the Dems become president, I don't think anyone can stop socialized medicine.

Nothing like garnishing wages to make you popular.

Silky pony is mentally ill and power mad. A totalitarian socialist/communist to the core. The commie candidates Clinton, Obama and Edwards are all very similar. All leftist lawyers. All sitting or former members of the U.S. Senate. The only thing Edwards hasn't added to his agenda is gun grabbing.

Presidential candidate and former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) on Thursday .. said that, .. U.S. residents .. could have their wages garnished or tax refunds withheld in the event that they do not obtain coverage..

Well I'll be darned. I didn't know that the Silky Pony was the love child of Stalin.

If you are a five- or six-year-old and you go to kindergarten or sign up for school, you get enrolled, if you’re not on a health care plan.

Proof of insurance to get a public education. Wow.

If you go to the library, you get picked up."

These people are so far into Socialism they don't even have a clue that most Americans are going to be aghast at this.

God help us if we let a democrat back into the WH - AND let them keep control of the Senate and House....

We will have well over 50% of wages taken from us - we will march to their drummer and they lead us to our graves.

THIS is an issue we should beat the drums to LOUDLY from here to election. It will turn even a lot of libs from them - they'll vote their pocketbooks

He said, "So if you don't have health coverage, and you go to the emergency room, you get enrolled. If you are a five- or six-year-old and you go to kindergarten or sign up for school, you get enrolled, if you're not on a health care plan. If you go to the library, you get picked up."

under his health care plan, U.S. residents who can afford to pay for health insurance could have their wages garnished or tax refunds withheld in the event that they do not obtain coverage

"If any of the Dems become president, I don't think anyone can stop socialized medicine"

This is just my opinion all ... We need to get our heads out of the sand and come up with our versions of national health care. The current system is way broke and can't be fixed. You can't polish a turd! So, what are we doing, besides, bitchin? Nuttin! We are allowing the Libs to dictate exactly what we must settle for. Not one Republican is talking about it, other than, "We need to do something", for the past 20 years.

All Western nations have socialized health care. Name one candidate from any country running for public office who has ever said, "We need to stop free (sic) healthcare and turn everyone over to private insurers and leave them pay as they go or an option not to have any." Why is it that we say it would be terrible, when no one anywhere wants to give it up. Sure, there will be problems, but, 50 nations already did the 'try this, try that' we can learn from. We have socialized schools, police departments, libraries, fire departments, child care, etc.

Lack of portable, affordable healthcare for people under age 65 is terrible. How many people are locked into jobs they hate but must remain because of having healthcare, or, make their spouse work because of either being able to buy into their plan or just need the extra money to purchase privately. This has been a direct assault against our freedom and families for way too many years.

Veterans, handicap, federal government employees, and people over age 65 get American style national healthcare now. Why can't I buy into it? I don't hear one of those people bitchin.

Why don’t we just not accept people who don’t have health care? I mean we don’t allow people to attend a University unless they pay for it. You can’t go to a restaurant if you don’t pay for it. I say that either you pay for it or you leave. This would solve so much. Yes of course the liberals will bash me, but come on this is ridiculous. Just get the dang insurance.

What he said: “When somebody chooses not to be in our health care system, then what they’re choosing is that the rest of America is going to pay for their health care.”

What he meant: “When I force somebody to be in our health care system, then I’m forcing him to pay for someone else’s healthcare.”

It’s not about socializing medicine, it’s about controlling people’s lives.

A minimum health care plan would cost me $389 a month. That is with a $5000 deductible and no prescription coverage.

I used $65 in medical services in the past 20 years. ( I had bronchitis last year. Went to a doctor, finally for an antibiotic that cost me $4 at Walmart. )

So why should I pay $93,360 for something I never use.

And yes, I can easily pay for my own hospitalization if something catastrophic happened.

When I see the words “Edwards” and “mandate” in the same sentence, I chuckle.

I see right through this article. Edwards is taking the health-care heat for Hillary. Those two are in cahoots.

Another transfer of wealth scheme by a communist who wants to be president.

"If any of the Dems become president, I don't think anyone can stop socialized medicine."

And once health care is run by the government then the ACLU nuts will be along to rename all the hospitals from religious names to secular names. No more St. Joseph's Hospital, etc...
