CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Presidential hopeful John Edwards on Monday planned to air a television ad in New Hampshire that blames lobbyists for keeping 47 millions Americans without health insurance.
The ad dovetails with his criticism of his chief rivals' health care plans in recent weeks. The former North Carolina senator says there is no way to ensure health care for all citizens without fundamentally changing how Washington works.
``You're going to sit at a table with drug companies and oil companies and they're going to give away their power. Right,'' Edwards says as the ad shows voters laughing at his sarcasm. ``You have to take their power away from them. There's nothing we can't do - if we do it together.''
Edwards trails Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama in New Hampshire and remains in a tight race with them in Iowa. He has been campaigning heavily in the early states, packing serial town hall-style meetings into his schedule.
