WASHINGTON (CNN) — Democratic presidential rivals Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton ratcheted up the rhetoric over healthcare Wednesday, each accusing the other of not being straightforward on the issue.
Campaigning in Ankeny, Iowa, Clinton said Obama's plan does not cover all Americans, and accused the Illinois Democrat of misleading voters about his proposal's limitations.
"He has called his plan universal, then he called it 'virtually universal,' but it simply does not deserve the label," said the New York senator. "When it comes to truth in labeling, his plan simply flunks the test."
