Small clip included. I think she learns a lot about the profession as she talks and listens in these sessions.

Hillary Clinton meets with healthcare workers



Hillary Clinton brought her presidential campaign to Los Angeles on Thursday, telling home healthcare workers that she wants to improve their working conditions, training and wages so more people can remain at home as they age.

Clinton met with eight women, all of whom had either worked in home healthcare or hired someone for care-giving, for a round table discussion at Los Angeles Trade Technical College.
