1) healthcare: Edwards is doing what he needs to do: getting buzz-bang for his media buck. His new ad cites his plan to push Congress to pass a law that would cut off its own health care coverage unless it passes a bill that covers everyone.
2) Trade: Edwards (like Ron Paul) opposes any more NAFTA-style phony trade agreements. Edwards opposes the Peru "free" trade deal. Clinton and Obama support the Peru Trade Deal.
3) Iraq: Edwards - all combat troops out of Iraq. Clinton, Obama: leave some combat troops in Iraq; i.e., continue the occupation
On the first day of Edwards' administration, he will submit legislation that ends health care coverage for the president, all members of Congress, and all senior political appointees in the legislative and executive branches of government on July 20th, 2009 -- unless Congress has enacted universal health care reform.
Edwards will require Congress to pass universal health insurance that meets four principles: (1) It must be truly universal; (2) Anyone who has health care must be able to keep it and pay less for it; (3) Anyone who doesn't have health care must get it, with help if they can't afford it; (4) Doctors and patients, not insurance companies and HMOs, must have control of health care decisions.
