What we actually said is that Clinton’s plan also “would leave out a million people or perhaps more.” The second ad quotes The Washington Post as saying Clinton’s plan “beats anything else out there.” It could also have quoted the same article by a business columnist as saying that her plan contains features that are “bad tax policy and bad health policy” and that she was presenting her plan as “the health-care equivalent of a free lunch....
