That's not true, she's actually very adept at congressional sausage making, unlike Trump and Sanders who think they can build walls or make college free by waving a magic wand.

heh, ours went up to $1,020 per month for a family of 4 with a $12,000 deductible. I told .gov to go pound sand so we no longer have any health insurance.

Trump 2016!

That would be yuuuugggge! If you make a decent living and you are over 50--good luck affording health insurance.

She's also on top of the prescription drug ripoff.
On top of the prescription drug ripoff ? Clue us in as to how she's going to stop pharmaceutical company lobbyists from lining the pockets of the DC establishment.

And if you make a decent living, why can't you afford health insurance ? I'd like to know what you consider a decent living ...

Sounds like someone wants the taxpayers to subsidizes their early retirement. Seems to be as bad as the Bernie supporters that want to live off the taxpayers because they are young, and don't pay much in taxes.

I don't see this pandering helping Hillary much, all her support already comes from people over 45 years old. What she needs is to find a way to get young voters to support her.

We don't cheat on our federal income taxes and never have in our entire life. I deplore Americans who do.

Hillary supported the Iraq war at the cost of 3 trillion or 50 years of tuition free public college. Think about it. 50 years of tuition free public college for what? Endless deaths and misery + rise of Isis. Its crazy really.

With Hillary we can expect something like this:

Chamber of Commerce Lobbyist Tom Donohue: Clinton Will Support TPP After Election

Quote:
In an interview from Davos with Bloomberg TV on January 20, Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue, a top lobbyist for the pro-corporate-power Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP] agreement, assured viewers that if Hillary Clinton wins the Presidential election, Clinton will support the TPP, even though she opposes it now.

It isn't a matter of "how good" a state exchange is. It matters which insurance companies have decided to offer insurance in a state - AND whether or not that state has expanded Medicaid. Often states which have not taken the govt's offer to expand Medicaid have higher health insurance premiums because of higher costs to the providers because of the uncompensated/uninsured (who would otherwise be on Medicaid) care. Therefore, those who buy insurance pay for the uninsured.

Texas is a poster child for a state which hasn't expanded Medicaid, has higher premiums overall for its citizens, fewer insurance companies offering policies, more HMO's - AND - much narrower provider networks, to boot, although insurers are narrowing networks everywhere in an effort to control costs.

Many lengthy discussions on the issue, here:

I don't want to litigate every claim ever made about Clinton, there are threads devoted to doing just that.
