I copied this right off the Edwards web site, which is fitting, because Clark just copied his whole health plan right off the Edwards web site - right down to calling it 'Real Solutions for Health Care.'
Here's the story:
Shame on Wesley Clark!
In the most flagrant robbery of John Edwards' Real Solutions yet, Wes Clark today announced his health care plan .
The foundation of the plan is a guarantee that all children have health insurance by combining a requirement that parents provide coverage, with additional resources to help parents join CHIP or private health care plans.
Yup. That's straight out of Edwards' July speech(http://www.johnedwards2004.com/page.asp?id=171)
Edwards in July: " When parents bring a child into this world, they have a responsibility to provide a safe home, a good education, and a lot of love. Every parent wants to do the right thing for his or her child. I believe health insurance should be one of those responsibilities and I want to help parents meet that responsibility."
Clark in October: "We provide the opportunity and the affordability, but then we demand responsibility in return. In return for this assistance, it would become the responsibility - indeed the requirement -- of young adults and parents to enroll their children in a responsible health insurance plan."
And here's the kicker, the name of Clark's plan: "Real Solutions for Healthcare"
