don't forget I supported Bernie too. Sp was the main reason. You jerks put up a corrupt warmonger instead
No we would NOT have SP under HRClinton..HRC would never do anything that risks her power-
she would never go up against a Republican Congress..She is the very definition of plutocratic rule
The only thing Clinton would have given us would be stuck in a quagmire in Syria -like Obama thought Russia was getting into
Clinton health care plan of 1993
Its goal was to come up with a comprehensive plan to provide universal health care for all Americans, which was to be a cornerstone of the administration's first-term agenda. A major health care speech was delivered by the president to the US Congress in September 1993. The core element of the proposed plan was an enforced mandate for employers to provide health insurance coverage to all of their employees.
Opposition to the plan was heavy from conservatives, libertarians, and the health insurance industry. The industry produced a highly effective television ad, "Harry and Louise", in an effort to rally public support against the plan.
Provisions
According to an address to Congress by then-President Bill Clinton on September 22, 1993, the proposed bill would provide a "health care security card" to every citizen that would irrevocably entitle him or her to medical treatment and preventative services, including for pre-existing conditions.
To achieve this, the Clinton health plan required each US citizen and permanent resident alien to become enrolled in a qualified health plan on his or her own or through programs mandated to be offered by businesses with more than 5,000 full-time employees. Subsidies were to be provided to those too poor to afford coverage, including complete subsidies for those below a set income level. Users would choose plans offered by regional health alliances to be established by each state. These alliances would purchase insurance coverage for the state's residents and could set fees for doctors who charge per procedure. The act provided funding to be sent to the states for the administration of the plan, beginning at $14 billion in 1993 and reaching $38 billion in 2003.
The plan also specified which benefits must be offered; a National Health Board to oversee the quality of health care services; enhanced physician training; the creation of model information systems; federal funding in the case of the insolvency of state programs; rural health programs; long-term care programs; coverage for abortions, with a "conscience clause" to exempt practitioners with religious objections; malpractice and antitrust reform; fraud prevention measures; and a prescription drug benefit for Medicare, among other features.
Once in office, Bill Clinton quickly set up the Task Force on National Health Care Reform, headed by First Lady Hillary Clinton, to come up with a comprehensive plan to provide universal health care for all Americans, which was to be a cornerstone of the administration's first-term agenda.
Right here.

Well tell that to your newfound idiot Trumptard compadres on the far right.
If it weren't for them, we'd have had a single payer health care system since the 90's when Hillary Clinton, the woman you despise with every fiber of your being, tried to enact it as First Lady.
Obamacare was an attempt to craft a workable, though admittedly less than ideal health care system that could actually appease the Republican members of Congress and get passed.
You say you prefer single payer while siding with the sworn enemies of single payer.
Makes zero sense.
seriously?.....you think the south left the demmycrat party and joined the Republicans because the Republicans were a sanctuary from the civil rights laws the Republicans forced on them?.......like me, the South left the demmycrats because of Carter's fucked up economy......and it wasn't just the south, it was the whole country......
yea this ^^^ would make sense except the fact that it is not true,
Obamacare appeased no one except 5o some odd left wing nut jobs in the Senate, and one over zealous Potus.
That's why it failed, it was crafted by nut jobs
Remind me again how democratic candidates didn't accept the votes of the South when winning the Presidency?
By "failed" you mean "can't be repealed or replaced by 5o some odd right wing nut jobs in the Senate, and one over zealous Potus", right?
Idiot.
It's still more popular than Trump.
Wow.
Big group.
I counted about 24 of them.
Watch out, America!!!!!![]()
Are you talking about the 1960's?
Have you ever heard of the Nixon Southern Stragety?
Have you seen the writings of the deceased Lee Atwater on the subject and hear him discuss how he got Reagan elected?
JFK would have never been elected without he South.Did any Democratic President in the 20th century turn down votes they received from Southern States? Wilson? FDR? Truman? Kennedy? Johnson? Carter? Clinton?

No, but have they been afraid to call out White Supremacists and KKK?
they accepted their votes. Re-read the OP.
One has no control over if he accepts votes or not, but he can disclaim racism and hate.
I seem to recall Obama being a little tepid about the New Black Panthers intimidating voters.
And yes, the NBP is every bit as despicable as the Klan.
Why are numbers important?
Those are Black Supremacists 'working' lol, a polling place. I don't recall Obama specifically calling out black Supremacists by name over it.
Lordy, if the Klan were to do that the left would still be wailing over it.
