She won't be able to answer that since people need to prove they qualify for it. People without an address or an ID will never be able to do that.

The privilege of paying 10% of your income on premiums only to be forced to choose NOT to obtain needed medical care because of the out of pocket costs is not "HEALTHCARE".

"Universal coverage" doesn't mean shit.

Thu Feb 4, 2016, 10:15 PM

She does not believe in Medicare for All because it would unenrich the big Wall Street insurance companies like MetLife (one of the TPP's biggest supporters).

And she better watch it on this immigration reform. Bernie voted with labor because Kennedy's bill was a huge mistake that empowered employers to use H1-Bs to undercut workers already here. The "progressive" position reforms immigration but also protects workers and doesn't sell out to Cape Cod employers that want to bring in temporary foreign workers for summer jobs!

Her claim to be able to get things done is BASED on the fact she's already got the inside track with the established order. She's got the contacts on Wall Street and big money. THAT is why she feels she is more able to get it done than Bernie can. He's outside the establishment and the whole point is she claims he can't get it all done because of that.

Instead of denial she should be crowing it from the rafters.

Do you really think that the banks are currently NOT screwing the people? The difference is that Bernie would break up the banks as a part of becoming President. Hillary would wait and see IF they needed breaking up. Sorry...not good enough.
