“I know my Republican opponents will try to equate health care for all Americans with government-run health care”
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton called for universal health care on Monday, plunging back into the bruising political battle she famously waged and lost as first lady on an issue that looms large in the 2008 presidential race.
'This is not government-run,' the party's front-runner said of her plan to extend coverage to an estimated 47 million Americans who now go without.
Her declaration was a clear message to Republicans, the insurance industry, businesses and millions of voters who nervously recall what sank her effort at health care reform 13 years ago in her husband's first term _ fear of a big-government takeover.
