Responds to senior policy adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin's comments that she didn't understand "the comprehensive nature" of McCain's proposal when she criticized it this weekend.

"The problem, Douglas, is that, despite fuzzy language and feel-good lines in the Senator's proposal, I do understand exactly how devastating it will be to people who have the health conditions with which the Senator and I are confronted (melanoma for him, breast cancer for me) but do not have the financial resources we have."

Edwards said in the LA Times Sunday that both she and McCain have survived cancer but "neither one of us would be covered by his health policy."

Plus: E. Edwards booked on NBC News' "Today" Wednesday to keep at it.
