Hillary Clinton: Single payer will "NEVER, EVER come to pass!!" [View all]

Last edited Sat Jan 30, 2016, 12:23 PM - Edit history (4)

You heard it here first folks. Pack those progressive bags because Hillary Clinton said Single Payer will NEVER, EVER come to pass, so don't even think about it. She didn't just say it, she exclaimed it, as seen in the video

Hillary Clinton on Friday cast Bernie Sanders' plan for single-payer health insurance as an "idea that will never, ever come to pass."

The swipe builds on Clinton's repeated rhetoric against the Vermont senator's proposed single-payer, Medicare-for-all health care plan that he proposed earlier this month. The plan would provide health coverage to all Americans but would be paid for by raising taxes on most Americans.

I just saw the video on CNN and she was YELLING it WILL NEVER, EVER PASS into the microphone. Really bizarre behavior, once I find it on youtube I'll post a link. Hillary 2016: No we can't!

Final edit: Going viral on Reddit, the video is now being dubbed the "Mean Scream"
