(2,565 posts)The problem (and this is the mistake Obama made with Obamacare) is he STARTED from the compromise and then got pushed even further back.
Clinton isn't even willing to go THAT far. She has promised no real advances, but just to keep building on the same flawed system. She wants to "use the tools of Dodd Frank" when in reality Dodd Frank is far too weak to be useful, by the time you are "using the tools" it is already too late.
We are going to "build on Obamacare", but Obamacare is a mess creating a two tiered health care system (much like the immigration reform would have done for workers). We shouldn't just tear Obamacare up, b/c it is better than nothing, but we need to keep it in place while we work on REAL reform.
Clinton has no discernible goals.
