Bill: Obama Would "Deny Us Universal Health Care"
After a relatively low-profile stretch, Bill Clinton re-emerged today with a vengeance as Hillary's Surrogate-in-Chief, hitting Obama on health care by arguing at an event today in Texas that he would "deny us universal health care" for "the first time."
The Dallas Morning News has the story...
"Her opponent excites more Americans ... but would in fact deny us universal health-care coverage for the first time," the former president said. "She represents the solution business."..."It would be truly tragic if the Democratic Party walked away from universal health care for the first time in 60 years when we finally got the business community and the medical community in line behind us," Clinton said, drawing applause.
As Mark Halperin notes, between this and her new radio ad the Clintons appear to have unveiled a new health care offensive today. It seems perhaps like a bit of an odd play for Bill to make the health care case in these particular terms, given his administration's high-profile failure to get a health care bill passed in the nineties.
