John Edwards proposes a plan to cut health costs by requiring companies to spend 85% of their premium to patient care. He wants to stop long-term patents of certain drugs for other to develop the drug and drive prices down using generic brands of medicine. He is a strong advocate of health care reform.
I think this is an excellent idea, because health costs right now are unbelievable. The health industry spends almost no money on patient care and monopolizes products with patents that could easily be made by other companies. They want the patent because it gives them the ability to hike up prices and rake in the dough. We should reform our system.

I agree. Healthcare and medication is extremely expensive. Some people can't afford it. Therefore, their health diminishes. Even generic medication brands are expensive. It's outrageous.
I think any improvement on heathcare is a positive thing. both drugh and heath care companies are makeing an obscene amount of money, so they really can afford to provide more, and stop being so greedy.
