Hillary has been fighting for health care reform since the early 1990s

33. First of all...

...I knew, way back then, that it was a big mistake to give her the reins on the health care bill. Not because she was not capable, but because at the time she was *not elected*. In my opinion that was one of the factors that doomed her efforts from the beginning. As someone else pointed out in another thread, that sort of thing is usually delegated to one's vice president, not one's spouse.

Secondly, her efforts were very similar to what we got with ACA: a complicated system that tries to give citizens a slightly better deal, slightly better access to health *insurance* (as distinguished from *care*), while protecting the position of the private insurers. In other words, a bandaid on a huge gaping wound. The insurers loved the mandate, they just hated the extra regulations that came with it.

Like Obama, Clinton will not consider single payer in any form. One can speculate on why that is, but it is a fact. Ergo, the health care industry as it exists today will like her better than they like Sanders.

As for details, there are plenty of details out there including the bill that Sanders introduced in 2013. Not that hard to find. Unless for some strange reason, one does not want to find it.
