During his 2004 vice presidential run, Edwards stated he was opposed to same-sex marriage. In late December 2006, in an interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News, Edwards said, "Do I believe they should have the right to marry? I'm just not there yet..." Edwards opposes a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, preferring to leave that decision up to individual states. He supports the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). He does support letting states decide on civil unions and partnership benefits. |

Political positions of John Edwards | Health care | Health care
On February 5, 2007, Edwards unveiled his plan for universal health care. The plan subsidizes health insurance purchases for poorer Americans, requires that all Americans purchase health care, "requires that everybody get preventive care," and requires employers to offer health insurance through the Medicare system as one option for their workers. Since Medicare has lower administrative costs – under 4%, versus 20% or more for many HMOs — Edwards believes that individuals will be able to save on health care by using the public option. While it is not a single-payer plan, the plan states that "over time, the system may evolve toward a single-payer approach if individuals and businesses prefer the public plan." and make Medicare the de facto national health program.
Edwards said "The bottom line is we're asking everybody to share in the responsibility of making health care work in this country. Employers, those who are in the medical insurance business, employees, the American people — everyone will have to contribute in order to make this work." The plan includes methods for cutting costs in the health care system and creation of revenue sources. |
Political positions of John Edwards | Cost containment | Cost containment
There are six ways in which Edwards proposes to reduce costs in the health care system.
Help doctors deliver the best care by researching improvements in health care delivery and disseminating best-practices information.
Invest in preventive care. Require citizens to obtain preventative care; reward citizens who meet "healthy living" standards.
Allow patients to review a hospital's or doctor's performance.
Work for environmental and health justice by reducing pollution, especially in low-income/minority neighborhoods and support translation services.
Improve productivity with information technology.
Protect patients against dangerous medicines by strengthening the FDA and restricting advertising of drugs. |
Political positions of John Edwards | Revenue sources | Revenue sources
The total public cost of the plan would be $90–$120 billion per year, paid for by eliminating the 2001 tax cuts for individuals earning more than $200,000 per year. Employers would be required to either cover their employees or to pay a payroll tax that will be used to partially fund regional health insurance pools (called "Health Markets") that are overseen by the federal government. Individuals who are not covered by their employers or by an expanded Medicaid program (covering individuals and families with incomes up to 250% of the poverty level) or Medicare will be required to purchase insurance from these Health Markets. Insurance companies must compete to win the right to be one of the providers in these Health Markets and must provide full comprehensive care (including mental health parity). In addition, one of the insurance plans will be directly provided by the federal government (similar to, but separate from Medicare). If a majority of individuals choose to purchase their insurance from the government plan, Edwards has stated that this could eventually lead to a single-payer health care system. In addition, there will also be a broad subsidy for those individuals who have to purchase insurance on their own. The subsidy is given on a sliding scale to individuals and families making up to roughly $100,000 per year (this is a significantly larger subsidy than is provided in the Massachusetts health care plan, another mandated insurance program). |
Political positions of John Edwards | Foreign policy | Foreign policy
Edwards has criticized the handling of the War on Terrorism by the Bush Administration. Edwards feels that the War on Terrorism was misnamed: "It is now clear that George Bush's misnamed 'War on Terror' has backfired — and is now part of the problem." He went on later to say, "The War on Terror is a slogan designed only for politics, not a strategy to make America safe. It's a bumper sticker, not a plan." |
Political positions of John Edwards | Iraq | Iraq
Edwards voted for the 2002 Iraq War Resolution, and was one of 16 Senators to co-sponsor an early version of that bill, Joe Lieberman's S.J Res 46, which was not brought to the floor for a vote.S.J.RES.46 – Co-sponsors Library of Congress Three years after the war began, in November 2005, Edwards said that the decision to go to war in Iraq was a mistake. He apologized for his vote, saying that the intelligence reports which led to the decision were "deeply flawed and, in some cases, manipulated to fit a political agenda." He favors gradual troop withdrawal and concurrent training of Iraqi troops, as well as removing American contractors, instead awarding such reconstruction contracts to Iraqi businesses to promote the Iraqi economy and reduce unemployment in Iraq.Edwards, John; "The Right Way In Iraq", The Washington Post; November 13, 2005, Page B07.
On January 14, 2007, Edwards spoke at New York City's Riverside Church as keynote speaker at a Martin Luther King Day commemoration. In the speech Edwards criticized silence on the "escalation of the war in Iraq," reminding people about King's vocal opposition to the Vietnam War forty years earlier.
In a February 2007 appearance on Meet the Press, Edwards told Tim Russert, "over time, when I reflected on what I thought was going to be necessary going forward, to have some moral foundation to work on issues like poverty and genocide, things that I care deeply about, I could no longer defend this vote. It was pretty simple. And I got to the place I felt like I had to say it and had to say it publicly. And so— what? — a year — a year or so ago I did that." He subsequently apologized for that military authorization vote.
Edwards was a vocal critic of the Iraq War troop surge of 2007, calling the surge the "McCain Doctrine" in reference to Sen. John McCain's support for the strategy. He has stated that he cannot guarantee to pull all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the end of the next presidential term in 2013, but added he would "immediately draw down 40,000 to 50,000 troops."Top Democratic candidates won't vow full Iraq pullout by 2013 In October 2007, Edwards called for limits on the role of private military contractors in Iraq and elsewhere.Edwards: Limit Private Security Firms by Philip Elliott, Associated Press, October 2, 2007. At the beginning of 2008, Edwards proposed withdrawal of all troops from Iraq in the first 10 months if he became president.
Despite President Bush's vetoes of funding bills with withdrawal timetables, Edwards urged congressional Democrats to not acquiesce, but instead to continually present bills that include such timetables. |
Political positions of John Edwards | Crime | Crime
When asked how to prevent inner city kids from participating in violence, Edwards said, with implied criticism of "The idea that we're just gonna keep incarcerating, keep incarcerating, pretty soon we're not going to have a young African-American male population in America. They're all going to be in prison, or dead. One of the two." Instead of supporting such a notion, he said the government should spend more money on health care and education in order to prevent young people from leading a life of crime.John Edwards: The MTV/MySpace Presidential Dialogue |

In the United States, a county is an administrative or political subdivision of a U.S. state that consists of a geographic region with specific boundaries and usually some level of governmental authority. Most counties have subdivisions which may include townships, municipalities, and unincorporated areas. Some counties are consolidated city-counties which are simultaneously municipalities and counties.
48 of the 50 U.S. states are subdivided into counties, while the remaining two states and four of the five inhabited territories are subdivided into county equivalents by the state, territory, or the United States Census Bureau. Louisiana is subdivided into parishes, Alaska is subdivided into boroughs, and the territories use various other types of subdivisions. Some states also have independent cities, which the United States Census Bureau treats as county equivalents. |

May–Hegglin anomaly | Infobox medical condition (new)
| May–Hegglin anomaly (MHA), is a rare genetic disorder of the blood platelets that causes them to be abnormally large. |
May–Hegglin anomaly | Presentation | Presentation
In the leukocytes, the presence of very small rods (around 3 micrometers), or Döhle-like bodies can be seen in the cytoplasm. |
May–Hegglin anomaly | Pathogenesis | Pathogenesis
MHA is believed to be associated with the MYH9 gene. The pathogenesis of the disorder had been unknown until recently, when autosomal dominant mutations in the gene encoding non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (MYH9) were identified. Unique cytoplasmic inclusion bodies are aggregates of nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA, and are only present in granulocytes. These May-Hegglin inclusions are large, basophilic, cytoplasmic inclusions resembling Döhle bodies in the granulocytes. It is not yet known why inclusion bodies are not present in platelets, monocytes, and lymphocytes, or how giant platelets are formed. MYH9 is also found to be responsible for several related disorders with macrothrombocytopenia and leukocyte inclusions, including Sebastian, Fechtner, and Epstein syndromes, which feature deafness, nephritis, and/or cataract. MHA is also a feature of the Alport syndrome (hereditary nephritis with sensorineural hearing loss).Noris P et al. Thrombocytopenia, giant platelets, and leukocyte inclusion bodies (May-Hegglin
anomaly): clinical and laboratory findings. Am J Med 1998;104(4):355-60 |
May–Hegglin anomaly | Diagnosis | Diagnosis |
May–Hegglin anomaly | Treatment | Treatment
May-Hegglin Anomaly can be treated by various methods:
Medication;Tranexamic Acid
Desmopressin Acetate
Platelet Transfusion will not work, because the affected platelets will overtake the new platelets. |
May–Hegglin anomaly | History | History
MHA is named for German physician Richard May (January 7, 1863 – 1936) and Swiss physician Robert Hegglin.R. May. Leukocyteneinschlüsse. Kasuistische Mitteilung.

Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift, Basel, 1945, 75: 91-92. The disorder was first described by Richard May in 1909 and was subsequently described by Robert Hegglin in 1945. |

One Million Masterpiece | inline | The One Million Masterpiece (abbreviated OMM) is the largest artistic collaboration ever attempted. It is an ongoing project to produce a true piece of global artwork. As of October 16, 2007, 26,582 artists from 174 countries have participated, with $19,348.57 raised for charities worldwide.
The original project website was launched on July 14, 2006 by London-based artist Paul Fisher. The site uses an Adobe Flash drawing tool to enable members to contribute images drawn on screen using a mouse or digipad, and an AJAX viewer which displays the whole artwork mosaic.
The website has developed and further social networking elements have been added. Artists can rate one another's contributions, communicate via messages and maintain a profile page. |
One Million Masterpiece | Participation | Participation
Participation is free to anyone with access to the internet. Participants are each given a square where they can use a built-in drawing tool to create an image. (These individual images combined are what will make up the final project as a giant mosaic.) The project is open to, and intended for, all willing participants. One need not be artistically trained, in order to participate.
Celebrity Involvement
Celebrity contributors include Peaches Geldof, electric violinist Linzi Stoppard, playwright Tom Stoppard, doctor and health commentator Miriam Stoppard, Frankie Goes to Hollywood frontman and artist Holly Johnson, cult comedy icon Karl Pilkington, businessman and socialite Sebastien Sainsbury and Supremes band member Susaye Greene. |
One Million Masterpiece | Aims | Aims
Artistic and Charitable
The One Million Masterpiece aims to produce a piece of public artwork that will provide a snapshot of global society. It is intended that the final artwork be completed for unveiling on World Population Day 2008 and hopes to raise over $1 million for the projects charity partners Save the Children, Oxfam, ActionAid and World Cancer Research Fund.
World Record
The artwork also officially qualifies as a new world record. The previous official record for the most artists completing a single picture was held by the painting A Little Dab of Texas, designed by Jim Campbell of Brenham, Texas, United States. The picture was painted by 25,297 people and was completed in 3 years, 7 months on June 14, 1998. |
One Million Masterpiece | Recurring Elements Within Image (Space Monkeys) | Recurring Elements Within Image (Space Monkeys)
As the project is still underway, it is largely wondered whether the final image will have a thematic unity or if it will be a chaotic series of unrelated images. Many recurring elements can be found throughout the work. The most notable of these recurring elements are what have been dubbed "space monkeys." Space monkeys are small circular faces, typically cartoonish in nature and rudimentary in style. They are believed to have originated within Laura Dixon's picture—but they soon began to appear in pictures throughout the project.
Other common recurring elements include: views of the earth from space, eyes, hearts, and flowers. |
One Million Masterpiece | Video Replay of Drawing Process | Video Replay of Drawing Process
The OMM site's adobe drawing tool includes a feature that enables a video replay of the drawing process for each picture. This feature has led several participants to not only create digital paintings, but also digital videos. Angeli Arndt uses this feature in her artwork entitled "I'm Always Changing For You," to show a human face changing over time. This video functionality adds a dimension to the project that is not noticeable when simply viewing still images of the project. |
One Million Masterpiece | Exhibition | Exhibition
When completed The One Million Masterpiece will measure 80 metres in width and 31 meters in height and each individual contribution will be a 5 cm by 5 cm square. It is proposed that the final piece will be printed and unveiled in Central London on World Population Day 2008. |
One Million Masterpiece | Controversy | Controversy
There has been controversy within the OMM community regarding content of individual artworks. Some participants have complained that certain artworks are pornographic and/or obscene. Occasionally, a participant will demand that the artwork of another participant be deleted. |
