Related: About this forumWhat Bill Clinton really said about Obama Care. The whole video here.
we gotta figure out what to do on health care
our opponent says just repeal it all, the market will take care of it
that didnt work very well out for us did it
we winded up with the most expensive system in the world, and we
insured the smallest number of people
on the other hand, the CURRENT SYSTEM WORKS FINE WHEN IF YOUR
ELIGABLE FOR MEDICAID, IF YOU ARE LOWER INCOME WORKING PERSON,
IF YOUR ALLREADY ON MEDICARE, OR IF YOU GET ENOUGHT SUBSIDIES ON A MODEST
INCOME THAT YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR HEALTH CARE.
BUT THE PEOPLE WHO IS GETTING KILLED IN THIS DEAL, ARE SMALL BUSINESS PEOPLE,
AND INDIVIDULAS WHO MAKE JUST A BIT TO MUCH TO MAKE ANY OF THESE SUBSEDIES.
WHY....(AND HE EXPLAINS...)

(16,104 posts)Clinton is campaigning for his wife, not a third term for Obama.
It won't be Obama fighting for expansion of Medicare, Medicaid and single payer programs - that's for sure.

(841 posts)To pay for the coverage in the current Obama care setup?
Hillarys aim is to work with the republicans to build upon what is working and do something with the things that does not. Bills line of argument will actually help her doing that.

(13,570 posts)what he obviously meant to say but hashed it up verbally. He wasn't indicting ObamaCare. He was talking about adding a public option to close the donut hole.
