1. Clinton's position on single-payer same as Obama's

Q: Would we be better off with a Canadian-style single payer system if it were politically possible?

Clinton: I think our system has so many unique features to it. You know if we were talking 100 years ago, or 200 years ago, before we developed the kind of mixed system that we've got of public and private resources, I don't know, that's a hypothetical, but given where we are today I think it's imperative that we take it step by step, and that we build on what works.

3. Sorry, I can't evaluate anything based on hacked up videos...

If they had just let the whole thing run without editing, they would've made a case. But cutting up that video and taking his statements out of context just ruined their point.
