"Hillary Clinton will formally reaffirm on Saturday her support for creating a public option within Obamacare and allowing people to enroll in Medicare at age 55, campaign aides have told The Huffington Post.
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee will also call for a substantial increase in funding in medical clinics that serve low-income Americans.
While Clinton has long supported the creation of new government-run insurance options, and reiterated that support several times this year, this is the campaigns first formal endorsement of the idea.
Not coincidentally, it comes three days before she is scheduled to make her first joint campaign appearance with Sen. Bernie Sanders, (I-Vt.) ― who has championed government-run insurance and federally financed clinics throughout his career and during his own bid for the presidency."
