Although she's been the front-runner and presumptive winner of the Democratic campaign for months, Hillary Rodham Clinton is slipping in the polls against Barak Obama in Iowa, which will soon be holding its all-important caucuses. As proof of this, the Hillary Clinton campaign is offering increased criticism of Obama's Health Plan suggestions. According to a recent article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Mr. Obama counters that, "his rival, the national front-runner among Democrats, was willfully exaggerating the difference between their health proposals. He has contended that his plan, despite its lack of a requirement that individuals sign up for coverage, would effectively move the country toward universal coverage by making insurance affordable enough that most people would choose to purchase it. He estimates that the proposal would bring coverage to 98 percent of the population." Whether Hillary Rodham Clinton is right about Obama's Health Plan, one thing is certain, as Obama and the other Democratic contenders continue to gain ground against the Hillary Clinton campaign, her attacks on them will become more pointed and ruthless. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is nothing if not a tough and ruthless campaigner.
