In an online chat with supporters today, Hillary Clinton wrote: "I am so pleased that Senator Obama shares my commitment to universal health care."

Of course, during the primaries Clinton argued that Obama's plan was not universal. She told Obama during one debate:

You know, when I proposed a universal health care plan, as did Senator Edwards, we took a big risk, because we know it's politically controversial to say we're going to cover everyone.

And you chose not to do that. You chose to put forth a health care plan that will leave out at least 15 million people. That's a big difference.
