Clinton Says Obama's Health Plan Leaves People "Out in the Cold"

(CBS)

YORK, PA. -- Hillary Clinton took issue with a new television ad her Democratic opponent is running in Pennsylvania that criticizes her health care plan. Clinton stood at the center of Beaver Street in downtown York and told the crowd, "I just heard that my opponent has put out an ad attacking my health care plan, which is kind of curious because my plan covers everybody, and his leaves out 15 million people, just leaves them out in the cold."

Barack Obama's new ad takes issue with the fact that Clinton requires all Americans to have health insurance, which she plans to enforce that through mandates. Clinton, though, has yet to say what the penalty will be for those who do not buy into her plan.

Although the attacks from Obama in the ad are not new, it is the first time he has put them in an ad running in this state. Clinton told supporters at the rally that health care requires real solutions and that she is the person who can offer them. "Instead of attacking the problem he chooses to attack my solution," Clinton said. "I don't think that we can just make speeches about this, we have to have a plan that we can actually implement that will provide quality affordable health care, that's what I have been fighting for for 15 years and that's what I will try for as your president."
