Edwards diminishing his White House chances

Presidential candidate John Edwards (pictured) wants the government to give free health care to 47 million and raise taxes to make it work.

Promising to raise taxes is not the road to the White House.

John Edwards got rich in North Carolina as a medical malpractice lawyer, which helps raise the cost of medical care which also raises the cost of medical insurance.

Now he wants to give free health care to illegals and others who do not buy medical insurance. There are hundreds of thousands who could afford health insurance but choose to spend the money on other things.

Giving free federal funded health care is a step toward socialized medicine. That’s how socialized medicine got its start in Canada in the 1950’s.

Poor judgement may have been why Edwards was no help to the Kerry/Edwards ticket in 2004 which didn’t even carry Edwards home state of North Carolina.
