After the Affordable Care Act passed through Congress and President Obama signed it into law in March of 2010, Democrats cheered. Hillary Clinton has pledged to “defend and expand” the law, and she’s so proud of Obamacare’s successes that she’s … practically stopped talking about it on the campaign trail:
Why is Hillary Clinton so quiet about Obamacare? Speech after speech–not a word. https://t.co/cSX0kROE3W

Is that so?
Can't imagine why. https://t.co/mIbjoQfsWC

You mean Hillary isn’t bragging about her party’s signature accomplishment in the past many years? Go figure:
Affordable Care Act is Obama signature achievement; top Dem accomplishment in two generations; what Hillary Clinton worked for…

So why doesn't Clinton at least mention Obamacare as she campaigns for president? https://t.co/x6ZcIyxb0K

Look at Clinton speeches since Labor Day kickoff shows she almost never mentions Obamacare. https://t.co/Eg4sxQ9QQZ

16 speeches, Clinton explicitly mentioned Obamacare once–and that was with Obama himself in audience. https://t.co/D0TFdnoOaM

Clinton: 'Lots of Americans still don't even have insurance, or they do but it's too expensive for them to actually use.' Not endorsement…

But it's Clinton's party's premier achievement. If it's as great as they say it is, why doesn't Clinton mention it? https://t.co/IXCzkWY5Sp

On stump, Hillary Clinton doesn't promise to expand Obamacare. She doesn't extol its virtues. She just ignores it. https://t.co/5jwANOUgOT

Hillary’s attempts to sidestep a train wreck that she supported haven’t gone unnoticed.
@dcexaminer it was a video that made Obamacare bad. Oh wait, never mind!

HRC knows the disaster and reduction of actual health care we have all experienced. It is cruel.
