Clinton airs health care TV ad here
Posted by David Postman
Hillary Clinton wants to stress health care in the remaining days until Washington's Democratic caucus. Her campaign just released a new television commercial saying she alone has a "plan to provide health care for every American." And tomorrow as part of her Puget Sound campaign swing, Clinton is expected to hold a health care forum in Tacoma with nurses.
Yesterday, SEIU locals in the state endorsed Barack Obama. The union represents nurses and other health-care workers, and union leaders said they believed Obama had the best chance of enacting meaningful health-care reform if elected president.
Here's the script to Clinton's ad.
Announcer: She fought for universal health care, long before it was popular.Championed the bill that gave six million kids health insurance
and pushed the drug companies to lower the cost of vaccinations.
Now, she’s the only candidate for President - Democrat or Republican - with a plan to provide health care for every American.
Just one reason why she's earned the support of Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell.
Because health care is a moral obligation, not a privilege.
Saturday. Caucus for Hillary.
Hillary Clinton: I’m Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.

If you are looking for balance Gallo you are on the wrong Blog. How's that "To Do" list of interviews going David?

I've seen this ad a few times on the TV tonight. No Obama ads yet.

Hillary's plan would provide affordable health care to every American, Sen. Obama would leave 15 million people uninsured.

in the interest of fair play ...you should now run an OBAMA political add ...otherwise your column would be slanted toward The Clintons. sorry that i take that impression from you. subtle things matter to the readers and of course to voters. For example you gave us news on the Nurses Union favoring the Obama's health plan and then you run a commerncial for the Clintons'. By the way all over the nation the nurses associations are saying the same...that the Clintons health plan is flawed. It garnishes wages and favors the insurance industry.
