Senator Hillary Clinton told an audience
of doctors, parents and sick children in Portland that her position
on universal health care sets her apart from rival Barack Obama.
"The plan I have proposed would cover everyone, children and
adults," Clinton said at Doernbecher Children's Hospital on
Friday. "My opponent's would not."
Clinton is hoping to keep her bid for the Democratic
presidential nomination alive with a win, or at least a
better-than-expected showing in Oregon's May 20 primary.
"If you don't start in favor of universal health care, you'll
never get there," Clinton said. "How can you run for the
Democratic nomination and not have a universal health care plan?"
