Presidential hopeful John Edwards will travel to Detroit to talk Thursday about his plans for universal health care.
The former Democratic Senator from North Carolina will be at the East Riverside Health Center in Detroit at 9:30 a.m. to discuss the cost-savings measures in his health plan.
His plan calls for businesses to either provide insurance coverage for employees or contribute to the cost of employees' own health care plans.
He also would require individuals to get health care coverage, whether it is from an employer, a government program, or through regionally based health care markets.
It will be Edwards' second visit to Michigan in the last three months.
He was the keynote speaker at the Democratic Party’s Jefferson Jackson fund-raising dinner in April. He follows on the heels of U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., who spoke to AFL-CIO members in Detroit on Saturday.
