[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost every Westernized country says so. It’s (healthcare for its citizens) a sign of a civilized educated nation. [/quote]

Yeah but the thing nobody wants to mention is how difficult is to immigrate to these countries compared to the US. I tried to see if I could work in Toronto after college - it was next to impossible, I didn’t have the right skills. I’m pretty educated and have a good job in the States.[/quote]

This is true. It's also true that universal coverage generally applies to citizens, not non-citizens, and only emergency aid (with high bills) is given otherwise. [/quote]

Her specific reiterated quote has been "affordable health care for every American." I suppose you could argue about what is meant by "American." I suspect it is clarified in her platform, but I haven't looked in that detail because I am not going to be voting for her.
