This video is invariably posted by those who insist that HRC is against single payer/universal healthcare.

What she said was that Bernie's version would never pass.

Look at the chyron at the bottom of the screen - it spells it out for you:

"Clinton: Sanders' health plan will 'never, ever come to pass'."

This bullshit does well on sites like JPR - where actual facts don't matter. Besides, the fine folks at JPR insisted all last summer that Hillary was dying of several fatal diseases, so her actual position on anything was a moot point, given she'd be dead before she could take office anyway.

Looks like she made a miraculous recovery - funny there are no posts on JPR explaining how she suddenly overcame her innumerable maladies the minute she lost the election.
