This is her quote on health care and Republicans. They have to lie about their true plan, but as Rachel says, "it's not what they say, it's what they do."

(from Mock Paper Scissors

“But broadly, Republicans must not only defend the status quo of predatory profit on the backs of patients, but seek to make it worse. If they were forced to articulate what they actually believe should happen in American healthcare, it would involve a lot of rapacious profiteering, unwanted and dangerous pregnancies, terrified immigrants, and dead poor people.

“In order to make a “better” healthcare system, it needs more regulation, not less. It needs the government to control prices, because the market clearly won’t. It needs protections for patients. It needs to be universal. In other words, it needs to be antithetical to everything the Republican Party stands for. And it could not be more important for Democrats to continue to hammer this home, every day, at every opportunity, until everyone who might have ever considered voting for them and everyone who needs a reason to turn out in 2020 understands what the alternative is.”

She was my first choice. Bernie was second in a small field. Not snarky at all. Good question.
