It has been nearly a decade and a half since the last effort to overhaul the nation's health care system. But the issue is back, driven by recent state initiatives seeking ways to provide universal health care and by the 2008 presidential campaign. . . . The phrase "universal health care" has been widely used among the Democratic presidential candidates.
Sen. Barack Obama, the Democrat from Illinois, recently told the International Association of Fire Fighters that he will make sure that everybody in the country has universal health care by the end of his first term as president.
Not to be outdone, Democrat John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator and presidential candidate, has already laid out a fully detailed plan for universal health coverage. On NPR's Talk of the Nation, Edwards pledged that he would implement his plan even faster than Clinton and Obama would: before the end of his first presidential term.
