#6 is a red herring. No Democrat is arguing to remove the ACA first and risk leaving everyone without its protections. It is doubtful that the ACA will ever become truly universal coverage. A public option would help control costs, true; and it might help the country prepare for single payer. But the simplest solution is to make Medicare available to all — incrementally by age, if necessary — while still allowing private supplemental insurance for those who choose it. That would keep industry jobs viable while allowing a baseline level of coverage for everyone, and ensure better health outcomes by addressing problems early.

You did not bring up the TPP, and it is a frequent topic of criticism. I take Hillary at her word that she now opposes it, although she is on record praising it in its early stages. There are many objections to it that I could raise, but one of the most significant is that if passed, we would never be able to slow down high-frequency trading through taxation, which would end this egregious practice.
