In snowy Iowa, the race is heating up.
With just three weeks until the caucus, Hillary Clinton took the gloves off to go after her Democratic challenger, Bernie Sanders - who is now neck-and-neck with her in the polls.
I think its time for us to have the kind of spirited debate that you deserve us to have. Were so much better than the Republicans, but we do have differences and you deserve to know what those differences are, Clinton said at a campaign event in Waterloo, Iowa today, after taking on Sanders for his position on health care.
"I just have a difference with Senator Sanders. He has a different plan, Clinton said.
She said that where she and Sanders part on health care is that her plan would not raise taxes on the middle class, while his plan would.
Michael Briggs, a spokesman for Sanders's campaign, responded to Clintons attack by defending Sanderss Medicare single-payer health care plan, saying it "would save the average family thousands of dollars a year in health care costs. He did not say whether or not the plan would raise taxes on the middle class.

(5,204 posts)So she asked for and got another 8 debates. That could easily happen again, except we have only 4 pre NH debates instead of the 18 of that campaign.
