9. Then you want Gephardt.
Gephardt's health plan covers EVERYONE and with the system we use now for starters. I don't think single payer will ever pass as a first draft. We must move in that direction slowly. Gephardt is the only one who has championed labor forever. He believes in free trade but wants it done right. He wants an international minimum wage that makes sense everywhere. It won't be the same wage everywhere, but it will protect workers everywhere and thereby protect our workers from lost jobs at the expense of low pay sweatshops elsewhere. Labor has been his forte for a long time. A lot of people don't look at him because they think he can't win, but he has a lot of good plans and experience and he's the guy to watch!
