Hillary Clinton all-in in backing Obamacare

Hillary Clinton offered a full-throated defense of Obamacareon Wednesdaynight but also expressed openness to changing President Obamas signature health care law.

The former secretary of state and early frontrunner for the Democratic Partys 2016 presidential nomination said the law, despite some flaws that should be addressed, is working and it would be foolish to scrap it and start over.

I think we are on the right track in many respects, but I would be the first to say if things arent working then we need people of good faith to come together and make evidence-based changes, Mrs. Clinton said, according to CNN.

She made her remarks at a Florida meeting of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society. The event was closed to the press though anyone reportedly could buy a ticket and attend.

Mrs. Clinton, who pushed her own ambitious but ill-fated health-care reform agenda while first lady in the 1990s, specifically cited the problems small businesses are encountering under Obamacare. Companies moving employees from full-time to part-time hours in order to avoid providing insurance coverage, she said, is something that should be addressed.

But on the larger issue, Mrs. Clinton said it would be wrong to throw the baby out with the bath and stressed Obamacare can and should be refined so it works better for average Americans. Many of Mrs. Clintons potential GOP rivals in 2016 have already vowed to repeal and replace Obamacare if elected.

Part of the challenge is to clear away all the smoke and try to figure out what is working and what isnt, Mrs. Clinton said, as quoted by CNN. What do we need to do to try to fix this? Because it would be a great tragedy, in my opinion, to take away what has now been provided.

Mrs. Clinton hasnt yet announced her 2016 plans, but she already has a grass-roots organizing and fundraising machine operating at full capacity. Early polling shows her far ahead of potential Democratic rivals such as Vice President Joseph R. Biden and Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley.

Mrs. Clinton also bests possible Republican opponents by significant margins, polling data show.

In Florida stop, hints of a 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign

It was not exactly a globe-girdling excursion. But for about an hour Wednesday night, seated on a stage at a university in Florida, Hillary Rodham Clinton offered some of her world view and a glimpse of what might constitute a 2016 run for president.

She encouraged her young, and supportive, audience to engage in the campaign process, to press their would-be leaders for specificity and to avoid the slough of political cynicism. No one can or should sit on the sidelines, Clinton said.

She defended the role of government as a force for the common good, opened no daylight between herself and President Obama, the erstwhile rival she served as secretary of state, and staked a few very broad policy positions.

But pressed by a question from the audience, she revealed nothing about her intentions regarding the next presidential race. The TBD in her Twitter biography would have to remain just that, she joked, saying she had run out of the characters allotted by the micro-blogging service.

The stop at the University of Miami in Coral Gables was part of an active schedule of public and private appearances Clinton has maintained since leaving the Obama administration a year ago. Earlier Wednesday, she spoke behind closed doors to a healthcare group in Orlando where, according to a CNN reporter in attendance, she endorsed corrective though unspecified changes to Obamas signature healthcare law.

I think we are on the right track in many respects but I would be the first to say if thing arent working then we need people of good faith to come together and make evidence-based changes, Clinton said.

In Coral Gables, she opened her remarks by praising Republican Gov. Gov. Jan Brewer for vetoing Arizona legislation that would have allowed businesses to refuse service to gays and lesbians. Brewer recognized, Clinton said, that inclusive leadership is really what the 21st century is all about.

Led by the gentle questioning of moderator Donna Shalala, the university president and a member of her husbands presidential cabinet, Clinton focused more on foreign affairs Wednesday night. Presidential campaigns are rarely decided by matters of global policy but Clintons role as the nations chief diplomat means a greater portion of her presidential campaign, should she run, may focus on her time on the world stage.

She took a veiled swipe at former President George W. Bush and his administration, mentioning the war in Iraqwhich she backed as a U.S. senatorand alluding to the controversial treatment of prisoners in the global war on terrorism. Lapses from our values and legal principles helped undermine Americas image aboard, Clinton said, and Obama has done a lot in the last five years to try to move away from that.

She called for more U.S. engagement in the Americas, criticizing the leadership of Venezuela, and, choosing her words carefully, expressed disappointment with efforts to rid Syria of its chemical weapons. A lot more international pressure is going to be brought on the Assad regime to finish the job, Clinton said.
