Hillary Clinton offers new health care proposals
- 8 years ago
In another nod to primary rival Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton is proposing to increase federal money for community health centers.
Clinton's campaign says the proposal is part of her plan to provide universal health care coverage in the United States.
The presumptive Democratic presidential candidate also is reaffirming her support for a public-option insurance plan and for expanding Medicaid by letting people age 55 year and older opt in.
The announcement Saturday was a clear gesture toward Sanders, who ran a strong primary campaign against Clinton and has held back from endorsing her candidacy as the party's convention nears.
In a statement, Clinton said: "We have more work to do to finish our long fight to provide universal, quality, affordable health care to everyone in America."
