In Iowa, Women Under Age 30: Bernie 84%, Hillary 14%
Anderson Cooper asked Mrs. Clinton about this during the Town Hall in Derry NH.
She was asked what accounts for this 70 point spread, and had absolutely no idea what the answer the might be.
SEVENTY POINTS!
Sanders winning women from 30-44 by 11% is pretty amazing, too.
Hillary's health care plan will not cover everybody
Everybody deserves to be able to see a doctor. It should be a basic right. Especially in the richest country on earth.
I'm sick and tired of policies that leave part of our population to get ground up in the machine. Health coverage should be a basic part of society, not a welfare program people have to qualify for. Not a subsidy that we have to qualify and apply for. That plan sucks. People need help and they can't get it because they can't prove they are desperate enough. Or they can't get through the paperwork. There's too much bureaucracy by having a ton of different qualifications and plans and rules. Corporations always exploit the maze of rules for profit and people suffer as a result.
It's time for a national health insurance plan that covers EVERYONE. It's the most direct way to cover everyone and end the barbaric cruelty of working class families getting stuck with thousands of dollars in health bills we can not afford to pay. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO LIVE. The capitalist insurance system is literally killing us. Other countries provide better health care to all their people while spending far less money. We still have millions of people uninsured. It's an emergency. We need this now.

How popular is Obamacare really? Would it be risky to hype Obamacare too much in a general election?
Obamacare is the Affordable Care Act.
People love the great parts of Obamacare like protecting people with preexisting conditions, and the Medicaid expansion.
On the other hand people in the US are still very dissatisfied with the health insurance situation including the co-pays and deductibles.
Hillary seems to make defending Obamacare a very central part of her campaign, even though most Americans don't like Obamacare according to this poll site: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/obama_and_democrats_health_care_plan-1130.html .
Most Americans favor a single payer health insurance plan like Canada has, according to this: http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/229959-majority-still-support-single-payer-option-poll-finds .
So with that in mind wouldn't it be a really risky move to nominate a candidate that is hugging the ACA so close and acting like it's great, when most Americans don't like it? Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to run on Medicare for All, which is supported by a majority of people?
