3. She would never mention the words 'single-payer' in public

I was very frustrated with Hillary's health care task force, meeting in secret, refusing to even discuss or acknowledge the existence of the single-payer model, and finally failing to get a plan of any kind even voted on in Congress.

Hillary's in the unique position of having been given a trial run at being President, given the full authority by Bill to handle health care reform by the White House. She failed miserably.
