Hillary is more of a centrist. She and her husband did work with the republicans back in the day. So I imagine if Hillary gets universal healthcare, she will compromise with the GOP on some other issues.
Hillary is actually more conservative socially than Donald Trump. Donald Trump believes gay marriage is "beautiful" and he requires that women allow deranged men into their intimate hygiene areas in Trump Tower. That's official.
A GOP Congress and Senate majority will not let a liberal Justices appointment get by them. They will stand their ground. Hillary will already know that going into the deal. And her centrist position will inspire her to appoint more appropriate, dare I say "politically neutral"??, judges. Like I said, she's to the right of Trump anyway on social issues so she is the better bet there between the two. Her Veep Kaine is even to the right of her. So if her age becomes an issue, he will carry on in her place.
It is imperative that our country get universal healthcare. I've gone into detail in the past about this; but it bears repeating. (and trust me, the economists on both sides of the aisle know this and are breaking the news gently to the poor lobbiests and their pocket Congressmen)
1. People struggling with health or losing their credit because of health bills, or losing their jobs because of family health issues, or losing their homes because of health expenses....even for minor problems that nearly all family's will have one member experience through their lifetimes, is KILLING OUR ECONOMY. All the way to the very top 1% too.
2. People struggling to pay the equivalent of a 2nd mortgage on just healthcare premiums (never mind deductibles and co-pays to fatten the insurance numbers-racket), cannot use that same disposable monthly income to consume. Lack of consumption is "trickle up depression" Sorry 1%ers. The truth hurts. And in this case it hurts your pocketbook. It's why the most lavish of electable expenditures like cruises, vacation resorts, 2nd homes, high end electronics and so on are really feeling the pinch. It's why you see so many ads from them these days "buy buy buy our product (please! We're begging you!)" But they aren't the last to get slapped.
3. If employers were freed from the responsibility of providing very typically expensive health premiums for employees, they could hire more people, automate less and more businesses would start up and more people would be employed: creating a better tax base which would:
4. ....provide a base and economy to spur the superfund to pay for this healthcare pool. Part of that superfund can use Article I, Section 8 and our ability to tax ourselves for what WE COLLECTIVELY decide are necessities (not a small group of private health insurance lobbiests/scam artists). We tax ourselves to cover fire to protect human lives. We tax ourselves to provide police which protect human lives. We tax ourselves to cover the military which protects human lives. But suddenly we drawn the line to protect human lives from common disease and illness which kills more people than what the fire departments, police and military try to protect and save each year combined. By leaps and bounds. It's not even in the same ballpark. Our healthcare system properly is the #1 national security issue if you weigh national security issues in terms of immediate cost in human lives and damage to our economic infrastructure. Also, tax sugar, tobacco & booze sales; which kill more Americans than all the wars combined. Possibly require a nominal copay at each visit to discourage hypochondriacs overusing the system.
**5. This one is a bonus addition which must be weighed into the 1-4 equation. Moral capitalism requires that workers be paid enough where their bosses can sell the product to most of them without breaking them financially. This means that the 1% HAS to get used to not making obscene profits. One yacht will have to do. If an employer aspires to have 10 yachts, then the quality of life for all his workers will have to raise up as well. Maybe profit sharing. I don't know. But something needs to check the rampant greed. I'd suggest going to church more often for CEOs and other corporate officers. Maybe they could elect to do that or do profit sharing? One or the other. Yes this sounds like socialism; but socialism is what is forced down your throat eventually when you've been allowing malignant capitalism to run rampant and unchecked for so long that is brings your economy to the brink.
6. Automation: In short, robots don't buy cars, homes, groceries, sundries, electronics and they don't take vacations, go on cruises. So if your greedy malignant capitalism fantasy includes staffing every one of your factories with robots in every possible task, then get used to nobody buying your products when your robots are all done making them. Canada has laws mandating that certain percentage of the work has to be done by actual human hands. They did the math long ago.

So if it's Trump in the GOP, I'm voting Hillary no longer with a *sigh*, because universal healthcare is so vital to our nation's survival and I know she won't rest until we have it. We all need it. Democrats & Republicans alike. It's the only chance to save moral capitalism at this point. Canada is doing fine and their economy is strong. Everyone has a card and they just walk into any health institution and get care as they need it: early. And this prevents much bigger and more expensive problems later on. They don't fear losing their home because little Jimmy got a compound fracture in his leg riding his bicycle.
Vote GOP for Congress and we'll strike the perfect balance.
