Sen. Hillary Clinton, increasingly desperate to overtake Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, ripped into her opponent today for failing to support universal pet health insurance should he reach the White House.
“It's a shame for Sen. Obama to claim he backs health care for all, when in fact his plan would not only leave 15 million Americans uninsured, but hundreds of millions of innocent dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles and other non-human family members of our society as well,” Clinton charged at a press conference today.
“The glaring lack of health insurance for the overwhelming majority of our pets is nothing less than a national disgrace,” declared Clinton. “We cannot in good conscience allow this travesty to go on unaddressed any longer.”
