Elizabeth Edwards made a quick stop in Cedar Rapids Friday morning to discuss her husband's ideas about health care costs.

Edwards talked to the I.B.E.W. Local #405 about a plan to cut health care and prescription drug costs. She used the current Penford strike as an example of why there must be changes in health care.

Elizabeth Edwards told TV9, "Senator Kerry will solve the problem for both sides. He'll make it easier for Penford to pay for health insurance of its workers and make its workers to afford it."

Edwards says 99-thousand people dropped their health care coverage between 2002 and 2003.
