E. Edwards plugs Clinton health plan

Elizabeth Edwards is plugging Hillary Clinton's health care plan.

During an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," the wife of former U.S. Sen. John Edwards said that she prefers Clinton's plan to rival Barack Obama's. 

It could be the closest either candidate gets to an actual endorsement, she said.

"Both candidates have called John and wanted to talk to him, and we continue to talk to them about what’s going on, but we think that what we have to offer them is not so much an endorsement as a perspective on what we found as we crossed the country on what people think are important issues and the solutions that seemed most realistic," she said.

Elizabeth Edwards recently joined the Center for American Progress as a senior fellow.

"I do think that in order to ensure that we have universal coverage we need to say that everybody has to join, so for that reason the mandates that Senator Clinton is talking about I think will actually be more successful in achieving the goal," she said. "I think they both have the same goals, I just have more confidence in Senator Clinton's policy than Senator Obama’s on this particular issue."
