Curious thing to claim: it was Hillarycare before it was Obamacare

Does she realize that Obamacare is a Republican idea? I hope Bernie says you might as well call it "Dolecare," Hillary, because it came from the Heritage Foundation. Maybe you'd prefer Heritagecare?

That was her worst answer in an otherwise pretty good debate performance.

...for her to say that, when it never actually existed. It was never policy anywhere. Never passed. You know what it was really called? Nothing.

In every way the process, the substance and the politics...They blew it. If I were her I would not want my name on that.

Maybe Bernie should brush up before his next debate. You should get on his debate team.

But a vote for Iraq war was a "mistake" 14 years ago. Let's not talk about the past unless it favors Hillary today.

On that plus she was first lady not the President.I remember that time the insurance companies spent millions in TV ads to defeat the plan and got the American people to go against it.

Never even made it into a bill that could be voted on in committee.

Obamacare was passed in 2009. Before that there was nothing.
