So, this just happened at the Democratic town hall over on CNN. Hillary Clinton got a question from a woman who complained that her health care premiums have skyrocketed since the implementation of Obamacare…

…and Hillary’s answer to this woman? “Keep shopping” and try to find a better deal:

Here’s the video with the “but I do want you to keep shopping” quote comes at 0:15 mark:

FWIW, former Obama hack David Axelrod thought Clinton was too nice to this woman and blamed her as well for apparently not buying her insurance on the exchange:
.@HillaryClinton being polite here. Hard to understand why this woman didn't shop on exchange for health care.#DemTownHall
