John Edwards Willing to Raise Taxes for Health Care
John Edwards states that he is willing to raise taxes for health care. In a nutshell,
"The tax increase would pay for the plan's cost of up to $120 billion a year. Edwards' proposal would require that every business provide health care coverage for employees or help them pay for it and every American has insurance."
In an Associated Press interview he said, "I think that most Americans now believe that instead of small, incremental change, that we need transformational change that will strengthen this country."
John Edwards might be putting his political at risk by his willingness to raise taxes, but is doing what will help most Americans.
