Democrats’ healthy debate–Voters say coverage is among top concerns.

The flier from Hillary Clinton’s campaign declares in bold letters: “What’s being said about Obama’s health care plan.” Obama’s plan is “incomplete,” “wrong” and “could leave as many as 15 million poor without any guarantee,” the flier quotes from articles in The New York Times and on CBS News.

The battle for the Democratic nomination for president is being fought over health care, as Clinton, Obama and John Edwards in particular have seized on the issue to showcase their differences.
