Universal health care is in her plan — an issue she’s been working on since the 90s.

No, it isn’t. “Affordable” health care with affordable co-pays, etc are qualifying conditions for what she is proposing as “Universal Health Care.”

She is still focused on individual insurances, not universal care. Universal care means we ALL pay into a pool that covers ALL of us got care when we need it, not this patchwork of coverage by private insurance companies and employers.

The closest Clinton got to universal care was her proposal of a “public option” that gave ordinary citizens access to participating in the insurance pool for federal employees. That showed promise but that also died in the ’90s and didn’t even make it out of the Obama circle in 2009.

I’m going to stay with my assertion that she only added the term “universal care” for Bernie people. But her qualifying definition of it is anything but. Insurance isn’t care.
