Edwards has said recently that he is not wedded to the insurance mandates, and may come up with another way to get people the care they need. I think he's probably the farthest left of the frontrunners, and would espouse a more socialist-style plan if it wouldn't be political suicide. I also think he's the most aware of and committed to broaching the needs of the poor.
As for the "how" of insurance mandates, everybody's looking at the Massachusetts model. I wish they'd look a bit farther, like to The Netherlands or Germany where insurance mandates have been around a bit longer. I agree, it would be a disaster to try require people who already can't afford health care to start spending on it.
