Your link may be on Fox News, but they didn't write it. It is an Associated Press story. Here's the same story through
Yahoo News.
It includes this direct quote of Edwards:
Quote:
|
"It requires that everybody be covered. It requires that everybody get preventive care," he told a crowd sitting in lawn chairs in front of the Cedar County Courthouse. "If you are going to be in the system, you can't choose not to go to the doctor for 20 years. You have to go in and be checked and make sure that you are OK."

Can't vouch for the quote being correct, but if it is it doesn't sound like a very good plan on his part. If just the idea that maybe you wouldn't be able to pick your own doctor bothered a lot of people in 1993, the thought that you don't even get to choose
whether you see the doctor is going to bother a lot more.
Of course, I'm not sure what enforcement would be like and how it would work.
