Democratic 2016 front-runner Hillary Clinton released a campaign video Monday trumpeting the benefits of ObamaCare just days after the law secured a major victory in the Supreme Court.
“We’ve got to defend the Affordable Care Act,” Clinton says in the minute-long video, which was taped at a campaign event in New Hampshire.
It’s her first healthcare-focused ad of the 2016 election cycle and comes in the wake of the court’s decision to uphold the law’s healthcare subsidies in King v. Burwell.
Following that ruling, the crowded field of Republican candidates has doubled down on their pledge to repeal ObamaCare, making it more likely that healthcare will be a defining issue in the 2016 elections.
The video features an emotional exchange between Clinton and a high school student named Meghan Richardson, who suffers from a chronic lung condition called cystic fibrosis, a condition that previously would have made it difficult to receive health insurance....

Now no one needs to refute it. Easier that way, isn't it? That way we can sit back with pleasantly unfocused minds and not have to justify our views, even to ourselves. 
# 10. the repug sure seems to think so.
Obamacare is the beginning. Now, we have to give her or whoever Democrat is elected, a Congress to take us further.
Last year she promised to expand and build on it. 'It takes a village...' is where she's going, and the rightwingers hate her for that and promoting women, immigrant and gay rights.
They indoctrinated a generation to hate her without knowing her really, but they know exactly where she stands and hate her with a vengeance they want others to feel, too.
One of the reasons that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is surging in the polls and beginning to receive the national press attention he deserves is that he has brought ideas of substance to the campaign. As CNN has recently reported, the latest Sanders initiative is that he is pushing a Medicare-for-all healthcare program, similar to programs in most developed democratic nations (often referred to as "single payer"
.
It is fitting — and right — that while progressives celebrate the Supreme Court decision upholding ObamaCare, Sanders believes that is not nearly enough. He is absolutely right. While ObamaCare improved healthcare for millions of Americans, a Medicare-for-all program would improve healthcare for tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, of Americans.
Many in the media and politics forget that, when healthcare was before Congress, a large majority of voters supported the public option in polls. Much of the public concern about ObamaCare was not that it went too far, but that it did not go far enough. Sanders wants to go further. There is polling from earlier this year that found that a majority of voters supports single-payer healthcare, which puts Sanders on very solid ground politically.

Yes supporting the ACA is good, but pushing forward to single payer is better. Thanks Bernie!

“No child, no adult, should go without quality, affordable healthcare. My pledge, as it has been for 25 years, is I will do anything I can to make that promise,” she says to a small crowd of supporters, including Meghan."
