FLASHBACK: Sen. Clinton Attacked Barack Obama's Inconsistencies On Health Care: Sen. Clinton Said Obama "Could Have A Pretty Good Debate With Himself" Based On His Inconsistencies On Health Care. Sen. Clinton: "You know, Senator Obama has been -- as the Associated Press described it, he could have a pretty good debate with himself, because four years ago he was for single-payer health care. Then he moved toward a rejection of that, a more incremental approach. Then he was for universal health care; then he proposed a health care plan that doesn't cover everybody." (Sen. Hillary Clinton, ABC/Facebook Democrat Presidential Debate, Manchester, NH, 1/5/08)
Sen. Clinton: "Secondly, we have seen once again a kind of evolution here. When Senator Obama ran for the Senate, he was for single payer and said he was for single payer if we could get a Democratic president and Democratic Congress. As time went on, the last four or so years, he said he was for single payer in principle. Then he was for universal health care. And then his policy is not. It is not universal." (Sen. Hillary Clinton, CNN Democrat Presidential Debate, Myrtle Beach, SC, 1/21/08)
FLASHBACK: Sen. Clinton Attacked Obama's Health Care Plan For Flunking The Test: Sen. Clinton Said Obama's Health Care Plan "Simply Flunks The Test." Sen. Clinton: "Sen. Obama's plan does not and cannot cover all Americans. He's called his plan universal, then he called it virtually universal, but it is not either. And when it comes to truth in labeling, it simply flunks the test." (Sen. Hillary Clinton, Remarks On Health Care, Des Moines, IA, 11/28/07)
