(While the ACA operates alongside but is kept from developing to what it's meant to be until it can finally be discarded? Huh?)

AND unnecessarily stripping people of all choice by outlawing workplace insurance have both already done their harm with me. I want to see politicians bending over backwards to protect the the freedoms and wishes of the people; anything else worries me.

I share your suspicion of an under-considered initial position that she should have but hasn't properly corrected. I know she has a long history of progressive liberalism, but I'm now concerned that her desire to win might outstrip readiness and even possibly current suitability. It's only one issue, but a big one and the reasoning or inadequate reasoning, either way, is concerning.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
