Elizabeth Edwards in D.C. slams McCain on health care

Former Sen. John Edwards may be out of the limelight, but his wife forged headlong into the health care debate this morning, slamming Republican presidential nominee John McCain and arguing with a GOP congressman about the cost of universal health care.

Elizabeth Edwards showed hints of the feisty image she's cultivated over the years during an appearance on Capitol Hill today, testifying before a subcommittee about health care reform.

She wasn't even the star witness — that was New Jersey Gov. John Corzine — and she was just one of nine panelists in a hearing that dragged on more than three hours.

"Let's consider Sen. John McCain's approach (to health care) as the ideal conservative approach," Edwards began.

She went on to slam McCain's ideas on tax credits and the fact that his plan wouldn't cover all Americans.

"If you're 55 with cancer, like Senator McCain and I, good luck to you," Edwards said.

God Bless you Elizabeth! Keep up the fight!

So refreshing to hear about Elizabeth after Palin for so long. She's a woman that is a role model for all. We need to hear more from her!
