I think what H. Clinton wants to do is get to what is functionally universal health care by means of expanding the ACA. Of course, that still leaves a large chunk of money for health care flowing through private health care insurers.
Clinton is a status quo candidate.
What she wants is her own presidential library.
She's better than any of the republican candidates, but there's no hope for any positive change under a Hillary regime. Look at her record: She's a solidly good manager, not an innovator. She surrounds herself with competent people, not exceptional ones.
This pretty much sums it up for me. And what Pam added as well. Acknowledging that things have certainly improved over the last eight years comparing day one to now, I do not want more of the same as far as how things get done. I'm tired of the banks and the too big to fail nonsense. I do not like that Hillary was all too willing to send troops off to Iraq to die and no one seems to care anymore about it. I do not want anymore of Congress saying no to everything. You think it was bad under Obama? Wait to see how much more combative and defiant they become under ANOTHER Clinton Presidency. We as a country can't afford it. I couldn't bring myself to be a part of it all on principle alone if she gets the Dem nomination. Of course those like myself will be told we wasted our vote if we go third party or that it was our fault if Trump or another R wins against her when in fact it will be the fault of those that voted for her knowing that it will light a fire under the Republican base and they will turn out en masse. My refusal to vote for her won't be due to sulking... it will be due to conscience and abhor the "must vote to support the party no matter what" concept. I just hope there are enough that really have a concern for all others like I think Sanders does.
