"Hillary Clinton’s attacking, but what’s she not telling you about her health care plan? It forces everyone to buy insurance, even if you can’t afford it, and you pay a penalty if you don’t," said one of his television ads<\/a> .<\/p>\n

His mailings made similar claims, which we rated Half True<\/a> . At one campaign stop, Clinton waived the mailers and declared, "Shame on you, Barack Obama!"<\/p>\n

"Meet me in Ohio," she added. "Let’s have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign."<\/p>\n

Obama was vigorous in his attacks on Clinton for including an indvidual [sic] mandate in her plan.
