Former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) will be the first of at least nine presidential candidates to participate in a series of webcast forums on healthcare reform co-sponsored by a liberal advocacy group, Families USA and a hospital lobbying organization, Federation of American Hospitals.
Each event will feature a single candidate discussing healthcare for one hour. The candidate will make opening remarks, then take questions from a panel of journalists from PBS, NPR, The Wall Street Journal and ABC News.
The groups behind the events say their intention is to get the presidential candidates to offer detailed prescriptions for how they would reform the healthcare system.
“Rather than brief or meaningless sound bites, the forums will allow the candidates to explain how America’s healthcare system will change if they are elected in 2008,” said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA.
