Clinton: 'It was called HillaryCare before it was called Obamacare'
UPI ^ | 1/22/16 | Ann Marie Awad

VINTON, Iowa, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Hillary Clinton has been taking increasing credit for the Affordable Care Act in a bid to discredit the healthcare policy of opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders.

At a campaign stop Thursday in Vinton, Iowa, she told supporters: "It was called Hillarycare before it was called Obamacare. I don't want to start over again, I don't want to rip up this accomplishment and begin this contentious debate all over again."

**SNIP**

By contrast, the healthcare reform plan put forward by Clinton's husband in 1993 was far more overreaching than the Affordable Care Act, and in fact more similar to Sanders' plan for single-payer. The Clinton Health Security Act, as it was called, did not even make it to a vote in the Democratic-led Congress.

And it was just as unpopular when it was HillaryCare.

The only difference then from now is that now if you oppose it you are a racist.

Probably not a good comparison, considering that Hillarycare was a bigger flop than Obamacare.

“Clinton: ‘It was called HillaryCare before it was called Obamacare’”

I’m sure he thought that sounded good in his mind before he said it.
