A Physicians' View of John Edwards

By "leisure" at Daily Kos, who happens to be a physician:
"I support John Edwards. For many reasons.
Universal healthcare is a big one for me-- the sick and injured must be cared for with decency and respect.
ALL of them.
"And not just when they're on death's door in the Emergency Department where care is federally mandated. Cost effectiveness, in addition to human decency, requires primary preventative care as well.
"In my opinion, nobody but John Edwards stands a chance of achieving Universal Health Care, because nobody but John Edwards is willing to fight the HMOs and risk losing their continued financial support.
Do you know which two United States senators took in the most money from HMOs this current cycle?
#1. Hillary Clinton
#2. Barack Obama
First and second place-- out of all 100 senators, Republican and Democrat.
