               The 3 (I misspoke about 5 earlier) speeches to Goldman are attached with
some parts highlighted. Below are some of the more noteworthy quotes.

Here is the Politico story Mandy was referencing earlier
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2013/12/wall-street-white-house-republicans-lament-of-the-plutocrats-101047

*Clinton Said, With Dodd-Frank, There Was "A Need To Do Something Because
For Political Reasons" Because Members Of Congress "Can't Sit Idly By And
Do Nothing." *"And with political people, again, I would say the same
thing, you know, there was a lot of complaining about Dodd-Frank, but there
was also a need to do something because for political reasons, if you were
an elected member of Congress and people in your constituency were losing
jobs and shutting businesses and everybody in the press is saying it's all
the fault of Wall Street, you can't sit idly by and do nothing, but what
you do is really important." [GS2, 10/24/13]

*Tim O'Neill Told Clinton "We Really Did Appreciate It" When She Had Been
"Courageous In Some Respects To Associated With Wall Street And This
Environment." *"MR. O'NEILL:  By the way, we really did appreciate when you
were the senator from New York and your continued involvement in the issues
(inaudible) to be courageous in some respects to associated with Wall
Street and this environment.  Thank you very much. SECRETARY CLINTON:
Well, I don't feel particularly courageous.  I mean, if we're going to be
an effective, efficient economy, we need to have all part of that engine
running well, and that includes Wall Street and Main Street. And there's a
big disconnect and a lot of confusion right now.  So I'm not interested in,
you know, turning the clock back or pointing fingers, but I am interested
in trying to figure out how we come together to chart a better way forward
and one that will restore confidence in, you know, small and medium-size
businesses and consumers and begin to chip away at the unemployment rate.
So it's something that I, you know, if you're a realist, you know that
people have different roles to play in politics, economics, and this is an
important role, but I do think that there has to be an understanding of how
what happens here on Wall Street has such broad consequences not just for
the domestic but the global economy, so more thought has to be given to the
process and transactions and regulations so that we don't kill or maim what
works, but we concentrate on the most effective way of moving forward with
the brainpower and the financial power that exists here." [GS2, 10/24/13]

*Speaking About Financial Regulations, Clinton Said "The People That Know
The Industry Better Than Anybody Are The People Who Work In The
Industry." *"There's
nothing magic about regulations, too much is bad, too little is bad.  How
do you get to the golden key, how do we figure out what works?  And the
people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work
in the industry." [GS2, 10/24/13]

*Clinton Said "I Represented All Of You For Eight Years.  I Had Great
Relations And Worked So Close Together After 9/11 To Rebuild Downtown." *"I
represented all of you for eight years.  I had great relations and worked
so close together after 9/11 to rebuild downtown, and a lot of respect for
the work you do and the people who do it, but I do -- I think that when we
talk about the regulators and the politicians, the economic consequences of
bad decisions back in '08, you know, were devastating, and they had
repercussions throughout the world." [GS2, 10/24/13]

*Clinton Said "Banks Are Not Doing What They Need To Do Because They're
Scared Of Regulations, They're Scared Of The Other Shoe Dropping." *"I
mean, right now, there are so many places in our country where the banks
are not doing what they need to do because they're scared of regulations,
they're scared of the other shoe dropping, they're just plain scared, so
credit is not flowing the way it needs to to restart economic growth. So
people are, you know, a little -- they're still uncertain, and they're
uncertain both because they don't know what might come next in terms of
regulations, but they're also uncertain because of changes in a global
economy that we're only beginning to take hold of." [GS2, 10/24/13]

    Subject: HRC Paid Speeches 
   
     Team,
   
    Attached are the flags from HRC's paid speeches we have from HWA. I put
   some highlights below. There is a lot of policy positions that we should
   give an extra scrub with Policy.
   
    In terms of what was opened to the press and what was not, the Washington
   Examiner got a hold of one of the private speech contracts (her speeches to
   universities were typically open press), so this is worth a read

    *CLINTON ADMITS SHE IS OUT OF TOUCH*
   
    *Hillary Clinton: "I'm Kind Of Far Removed" From The Struggles Of The
   Middle Class "Because The Life I've Lived And The Economic, You Know,
   Fortunes That My Husband And I Now Enjoy." *"And I am not taking a position
   on any policy, but I do think there is a growing sense of anxiety and even
   anger in the country over the feeling that the game is rigged. And I never
   had that feeling when I was growing up. Never. I mean, were there really
   rich people, of course there were. My father loved to complain about big
   business and big government, but we had a solid middle class upbringing.
   We had good public schools. We had accessible health care. We had our
   little, you know, one-family house that, you know, he saved up his money,
   didn't believe in mortgages. So I lived that. And now, obviously, I'm
   kind of far removed because the life I've lived and the economic, you know,
   fortunes that my husband and I now enjoy, but I haven't forgotten it."
   [Hillary Clinton Remarks at Goldman-Black Rock, 2/4/14]
   
    *CLINTON SAYS YOU NEED TO HAVE A PRIVATE AND PUBLIC POSITION ON POLICY*
   
    *Clinton: "But If Everybody's Watching, You Know, All Of The Back Room
   Discussions And The Deals, You Know, Then People Get A Little Nervous, To
   Say The Least. So, You Need Both A Public And A Private Position."*
   CLINTON: You just have to sort of figure out how to -- getting back to that
   word, "balance" -- how to balance the public and the private efforts that
   are necessary to be successful, politically, and that's not just a comment
   about today. That, I think, has probably been true for all of our history,
   and if you saw the Spielberg movie, Lincoln, and how he was maneuvering and
   working to get the 13th Amendment passed, and he called one of my favorite
   predecessors, Secretary Seward, who had been the governor and senator from
   New York, ran against Lincoln for president, and he told Seward, I need
   your help to get this done. And Seward called some of his lobbyist friends
   who knew how to make a deal, and they just kept going at it. I mean,
   politics is like sausage being made. It is unsavory, and it always has been
   that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody's
   watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you
   know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both
   a public and a private position. And finally, I think -- I believe in
   evidence-based decision making. I want to know what the facts are. I mean,
   it's like when you guys go into some kind of a deal, you know, are you
   going to do that development or not, are you going to do that renovation or
   not, you know, you look at the numbers. You try to figure out what's going
   to work and what's not going to work. [Clinton Speech For National
   Multi-Housing Council, 4/24/13]
   
    *CLINTON TALKS ABOUT HOLDING WALL STREET ACCOUNTABLE ONLY FOR POLITICAL
   REASONS*
   
    *Clinton Said That The Blame Placed On The United States Banking System For
   The Crisis "Could Have Been Avoided In Terms Of Both Misunderstanding And
   Really Politicizing What Happened."* "That was one of the reasons that I
   started traveling in February of '09, so people could, you know, literally
   yell at me for the United States and our banking system causing this
   everywhere. Now, that's an oversimplification we know, but it was the
   conventional wisdom. And I think that there's a lot that could have been
   avoided in terms of both misunderstanding and really politicizing what
   happened with greater transparency, with greater openness on all sides, you
   know, what happened, how did it happen, how do we prevent it from
   happening? You guys help us figure it out and let's make sure that we do
   it right this time. And I think that everybody was desperately trying to
   fend off the worst effects institutionally, governmentally, and there just
   wasn't that opportunity to try to sort this out, and that came later."
   [Goldman Sachs AIMS Alternative Investments Symposium, 10/24/13]
   
    *Clinton: "Even If It May Not Be 100 Percent True, If The Perception Is
   That Somehow The Game Is Rigged, That Should Be A Problem For All Of
   Us." *"Now,
   it's important to recognize the vital role that the financial markets play
   in our economy and that so many of you are contributing to. To function
   effectively those markets and the men and women who shape them have to
   command trust and confidence, because we all rely on the market's
   transparency and integrity. So even if it may not be 100 percent true, if
   the perception is that somehow the game is rigged, that should be a problem
   for all of us, and we have to be willing to make that absolutely clear.
   And if there are issues, if there's wrongdoing, people have to be held
   accountable and we have to try to deter future bad behavior, because the
   public trust is at the core of both a free market economy and a democracy."
   [Clinton Remarks to Deutsche Bank, 10/7/14]
   
    *CLINTON SUGGESTS WALL STREET INSIDERS ARE WHAT IS NEEDED TO FIX WALL
   STREET*
   
    *Clinton Said Financial Reform "Really Has To Come From The Industry
   Itself." *"Remember what Teddy Roosevelt did. Yes, he took on what he saw
   as the excesses in the economy, but he also stood against the excesses in
   politics. He didn't want to unleash a lot of nationalist, populistic
   reaction. He wanted to try to figure out how to get back into that balance
   that has served America so well over our entire nationhood. Today, there's
   more that can and should be done that really has to come from the industry
   itself, and how we can strengthen our economy, create more jobs at a time
   where that's increasingly challenging, to get back to Teddy Roosevelt's
   square deal. And I really believe that our country and all of you are up
   to that job." [Clinton Remarks to Deutsche Bank, 10/7/14]
   
    *Speaking About The Importance Of Proper Regulation, Clinton Said "The
   People That Know The Industry Better Than Anybody Are The People Who Work
   In The Industry."* "I mean, it's still happening, as you know. People are
   looking back and trying to, you know, get compensation for bad mortgages
   and all the rest of it in some of the agreements that are being reached.
   There's nothing magic about regulations, too much is bad, too little is
   bad. How do you get to the golden key, how do we figure out what works?
   And the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people
   who work in the industry. And I think there has to be a recognition that,
   you know, there's so much at stake now, I mean, the business has changed so
   much and decisions are made so quickly, in nano seconds basically. We
   spend trillions of dollars to travel around the world, but it's in
   everybody's interest that we have a better framework, and not just for the
   United States but for the entire world, in which to operate and trade."
   [Goldman Sachs AIMS Alternative Investments Symposium, 10/24/13]
   
    *CLINTON ADMITS NEEDING WALL STREET FUNDING*
   
    *Clinton Said That Because Candidates Needed Money From Wall Street To Run
   For Office, People In New York Needed To Ask Tough Questions About The
   Economy Before Handing Over Campaign Contributions. *"Secondly, running for
   office in our country takes a lot of money, and candidates have to go out
   and raise it. New York is probably the leading site for contributions for
   fundraising for candidates on both sides of the aisle, and it's also our
   economic center. And there are a lot of people here who should ask some
   tough questions before handing over campaign contributions to people who
   were really playing chicken with our whole economy." [Goldman Sachs AIMS
   Alternative Investments Symposium, 10/24/13]
   
    *Clinton: "It Would Be Very Difficult To Run For President Without Raising
   A Huge Amount Of Money And Without Having Other People Supporting You
   Because Your Opponent Will Have Their Supporters."* "So our system is, in
   many ways, more difficult, certainly far more expensive and much longer
   than a parliamentary system, and I really admire the people who subject
   themselves to it. Even when I, you know, think they should not be elected
   president, I still think, well, you know, good for you I guess, you're out
   there promoting democracy and those crazy ideas of yours. So I think that
   it's something -- I would like -- you know, obviously as somebody who has
   been through it, I would like it not to last as long because I think it's
   very distracting from what we should be doing every day in our public
   business. I would like it not to be so expensive. I have no idea how you
   do that. I mean, in my campaign -- I lose track, but I think I raised $250
   million or some such enormous amount, and in the last campaign President
   Obama raised 1.1 billion, and that was before the Super PACs and all of
   this other money just rushing in, and it's so ridiculous that we have this
   kind of free for all with all of this financial interest at stake, but, you
   know, the Supreme Court said that's basically what we're in for. So we're
   kind of in the wild west, and, you know, it would be very difficult to run
   for president without raising a huge amount of money and without having
   other people supporting you because your opponent will have their
   supporters. So I think as hard as it was when I ran, I think it's even
   harder now." [Clinton Speech For General Electric's Global Leadership
   Meeting – Boca Raton, FL, 1/6/14]
   
    *CLINTON TOUTS HER RELATIONSHIP TO WALL STREET AS A SENATOR*
   
    *Clinton: As Senator, "I Represented And Worked With" So Many On Wall
   Street And "Did All I Could To Make Sure They Continued To Prosper" But
   Still Called For Closing Carried Interest Loophole. *In remarks at Robbins,
   Gellar, Rudman & Dowd in San Diego, Hillary Clinton said, "When I was a
   Senator from New York, I represented and worked with so many talented
   principled people who made their living in finance. But even thought I
   represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to
   prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing
   skyrocketing CEO pay. I also was calling in '06, '07 for doing something
   about the mortgage crisis, because I saw every day from Wall Street
   literally to main streets across New York how a well-functioning financial
   system is essential. So when I raised early warnings about early warnings
   about subprime mortgages and called for regulating derivatives and over
   complex financial products, I didn't get some big arguments, because people
   sort of said, no, that makes sense. But boy, have we had fights about it
   ever since." [Hillary Clinton's Remarks at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd in
   San Diego, 9/04/14]
   
    *Clinton On Wall Street: "I Had Great Relations And Worked So Close
   Together After 9/11 To Rebuild Downtown, And A Lot Of Respect For The Work
   You Do And The People Who Do It." *"Now, without going over how we got to
   where we are right now, what would be your advice to the Wall Street
   community and the big banks as to the way forward with those two important
   decisions? SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I represented all of you for eight
   years. I had great relations and worked so close together after 9/11 to
   rebuild downtown, and a lot of respect for the work you do and the people
   who do it, but I do -- I think that when we talk about the regulators and
   the politicians, the economic consequences of bad decisions back in '08,
   you know, were devastating, and they had repercussions throughout the
   world." [Goldman Sachs AIMS Alternative Investments Symposium, 10/24/13]
   
    *CLINTON TALKS ABOUT THE CHALLENGES RUNNING FOR OFFICE*
   
    *Hillary Clinton Said There Was "A Bias Against People Who Have Led
   Successful And/Or Complicated Lives," Citing The Need To Divese Of Assets,
   Positions, And Stocks.* "SECRETARY CLINTON: Yeah. Well, you know what
   Bob Rubin said about that. He said, you know, when he came to Washington,
   he had a fortune. And when he left Washington, he had a small
   -- MR. BLANKFEIN: That's how you have a small fortune, is you
   go to Washington. SECRETARY CLINTON: You go to Washington.
   Right. But, you know, part of the problem with the political
   situation, too, is that there is such a bias against people who have led
   successful and/or complicated lives. You know, the divestment of assets,
   the stripping of all kinds of positions, the sale of stocks. It just
   becomes very onerous and unnecessary." [Goldman Sachs Builders And
   Innovators Summit, 10/29/13]
   
    *CLINTON SUGGESTS SHE IS A MODERATE*
   
    *Clinton Said That Both The Democratic And Republican Parties Should Be
   "Moderate." *"URSULA BURNS: Interesting. Democrats? SECRETARY CLINTON:
   Oh, long, definitely. URSULA BURNS: Republicans? SECRETARY CLINTON:
   Unfortunately, at the time, short. URSULA BURNS: Okay. We'll go back to
   questions. SECRETARY CLINTON: We need two parties. URSULA BURNS: Yeah, we
   do need two parties. SECRETARY CLINTON: Two sensible, moderate, pragmatic
   parties." [Hillary Clinton Remarks, Remarks at Xerox, 3/18/14]
   
    *Clinton: "Simpson-Bowles... Put Forth The Right Framework. Namely, We Have
   To Restrain Spending, We Have To Have Adequate Revenues, And We Have To
   Incentivize Growth. It's A Three-Part Formula... And They Reached An
   Agreement. But What Is Very Hard To Do Is To Then Take That Agreement If
   You Don't Believe That You're Going To Be Able To Move The Other Side."*
   SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, this may be borne more out of hope than
   experience in the last few years. But Simpson-Bowles -- and I know you
   heard from Erskine earlier today -- put forth the right framework. Namely,
   we have to restrain spending, we have to have adequate revenues, and we
   have to incentivize growth. It's a three-part formula. The specifics can
   be negotiated depending upon whether we're acting in good faith or not. And
   what Senator Simpson and Erskine did was to bring Republicans and Democrats
   alike to the table, and you had the full range of ideological views from I
   think Tom Coburn to Dick Durbin. And they reached an agreement. But what
   is very hard to do is to then take that agreement if you don't believe that
   you're going to be able to move the other side. And where we are now is in
   this gridlocked dysfunction. So you've got Democrats saying that, you know,
   you have to have more revenues; that's the sine qua non of any kind of
   agreement. You have Republicans saying no, no, no on revenues; you have to
   cut much more deeply into spending. Well, looks what's happened. We are
   slowly returning to growth. It's not as much or as fast as many of us
   would like to see, but, you know, we're certainly better off than our
   European friends, and we're beginning to, I believe, kind of come out of
   the long aftermath of the '08 crisis. [Clinton Speech For Morgan Stanley,
   4/18/13]
   
    *Clinton: "The Simpson-Bowles Framework And The Big Elements Of It Were
   Right... You Have To Restrain Spending, You Have To Have Adequate Revenues,
   And You Have To Have Growth."* CLINTON: So, you know, the Simpson-Bowles
   framework and the big elements of it were right. The specifics can be
   negotiated and argued over. But you got to do all three. You have to
   restrain spending, you have to have adequate revenues, and you have to have
   growth. And I think we are smart enough to figure out how to do that.
   [Clinton Speech For Morgan Stanley, 4/18/13]
   
    *CLINTON IS AWARE OF SECURITY CONCERNS AROUND BLACKBERRIES*
   
    *Clinton: "At The State Department We Were Attacked Every Hour, More Than
   Once An Hour By Incoming Efforts To Penetrate Everything We Had. And That
   Was True Across The U.S. Government."* CLINTON: But, at the State
   Department we were attacked every hour, more than once an hour by incoming
   efforts to penetrate everything we had. And that was true across the U.S.
   government. And we knew it was going on when I would go to China, or I
   would go to Russia, we would leave all of our electronic equipment on the
   plane, with the batteries out, because this is a new frontier. And they're
   trying to find out not just about what we do in our government. They're
   trying to find out about what a lot of companies do and they were going
   after the personal emails of people who worked in the State Department. So
   it's not like the only government in the world that is doing anything is
   the United States. But, the United States compared to a number of our
   competitors is the only government in the world with any kind of
   safeguards, any kind of checks and balances. They may in many respects
   need to be strengthened and people need to be reassured, and they need to
   have their protections embodied in law. But, I think turning over a lot of
   that material intentionally or unintentionally, because of the way it can
   be drained, gave all kinds of information not only to big countries, but to
   networks and terrorist groups, and the like. So I have a hard time thinking
   that somebody who is a champion of privacy and liberty has taken refuge in
   Russia under Putin's authority. And then he calls into a Putin talk show
   and says, President Putin, do you spy on people? And President Putin says,
   well, from one intelligence professional to another, of course not. Oh,
   thank you so much. I mean, really, I don't know. I have a hard time
   following it. [Clinton Speech At UConn, 4/23/14]
   
    *Hillary Clinton: "When I Got To The State Department, It Was Still Against
   The Rules To Let Most -- Or Let All Foreign Service Officers Have Access To
   A Blackberry." *"I mean, let's face it, our government is woefully,
   woefully behind in all of its policies that affect the use of technology.
   When I got to the State Department, it was still against the rules to let
   most -- or let all Foreign Service Officers have access to a Blackberry.
   You couldn't have desktop computers when Colin Powell was there.
   Everything that you are taking advantage of, inventing and using, is still
   a generation or two behind when it comes to our government." [Hillary
   Clinton Remarks at Nexenta, 8/28/14]
   
    *Hillary Clinton: "We Couldn't Take Our Computers, We Couldn't Take Our
   Personal Devices" Off The Plane In China And Russia. *"I mean, probably the
   most frustrating part of this whole debate are countries acting like we're
   the only people in the world trying to figure out what's going on. I mean,
   every time I went to countries like China or Russia, I mean, we couldn't
   take our computers, we couldn't take our personal devices, we couldn't take
   anything off the plane because they're so good, they would penetrate them
   in a minute, less, a nanosecond. So we would take the batteries out, we'd
   leave them on the plane." [Hillary Clinton Remarks at Nexenta, 8/28/14]
   
    *Clinton Said When She Got To State, Employees "Were Not Mostly Permitted
   To Have Handheld Devices."* "You know, when Colin Powell showed up as
   Secretary of State in 2001, most State Department employees still didn't
   even have computers on their desks. When I got there they were not mostly
   permitted to have handheld devices. I mean, so you're thinking how do we
   operate in this new environment dominated by technology, globalizing
   forces? We have to change, and I can't expect people to change if I don't
   try to model it and lead it." [Clinton Speech For General Electric's Global
   Leadership Meeting – Boca Raton, FL, 1/6/14]
   
    *Hillary Clinton Said You Know You Can't Bring Your Phone And Computer When
   Traveling To China And Russia And She Had To Take Her Batteries Out And Put
   them In A Special Box. *"And anybody who has ever traveled in other
   countries, some of which shall remain nameless, except for Russia and
   China, you know that you can't bring your phones and your computers. And
   if you do, good luck. I mean, we would not only take the batteries out, we
   would leave the batteries and the devices on the plane in special boxes.
   Now, we didn't do that because we thought it would be fun to tell somebody
   about. We did it because we knew that we were all targets and that we
   would be totally vulnerable. So it's not only what others do to us and what
   we do to them and how many people are involved in it. It's what's the
   purpose of it, what is being collected, and how can it be used. And there
   are clearly people in this room who know a lot about this, and some of you
   could be very useful contributors to that conversation because you're
   sophisticated enough to know that it's not just, do it, don't do it. We
   have to have a way of doing it, and then we have to have a way of analyzing
   it, and then we have to have a way of sharing it." [Goldman Sachs Builders
   And Innovators Summit, 10/29/13]
   
    *Hillary Clinton Lamented How Far Behind The State Department Was In
   Technology, Saying "People Were Not Even Allowed To Use Mobile Devices
   Because Of Security Issues." *"Personally, having, you know, lived and
   worked in the White House, having been a senator, having been Secretary of
   State, there has traditionally been a great pool of very talented,
   hard-working people. And just as I was saying about the credit market, our
   personnel policies haven't kept up with the changes necessary in
   government. We have a lot of difficulties in getting—when I got to the
   State Department, we were so far behind in technology, it was
   embarrassing. And, you know, people were not even allowed to use mobile
   devices because of security issues and cost issues, and we really had to
   try to push into the last part of the 20th Century in order to get people
   functioning in 2009 and '10." [Goldman Sachs Builders And Innovators
   Summit, 10/29/13]
   
    *CLINTON REMARKS ARE PRO KEYSTONE AND PRO TRADE*
   
    *Clinton: "So I Think That Keystone Is A Contentious Issue, And Of Course
   It Is Important On Both Sides Of The Border For Different And Sometimes
   Opposing Reasons..." *"So I think that Keystone is a contentious issue, and
   of course it is important on both sides of the border for different and
   sometimes opposing reasons, but that is not our relationship. And I think
   our relationship will get deeper and stronger and put us in a position to
   really be global leaders in energy and climate change if we worked more
   closely together. And that's what I would like to see us do." [Remarks at
   tinePublic, 6/18/14]
   
    *Hillary Clinton Said Her Dream Is A Hemispheric Common Market, With Open
   Trade And Open Markets. *"My dream is a hemispheric common market, with
   open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as
   green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for
   every person in the hemisphere." [05162013 Remarks to Banco Itau.doc, p.
   28]
   
    *Hillary Clinton Said We Have To Have A Concerted Plan To Increase Trade;
   We Have To Resist Protectionism And Other Kinds Of Barriers To Trade.
   *"Secondly,
   I think we have to have a concerted plan to increase trade already under
   the current circumstances, you know, that Inter-American Development Bank
   figure is pretty surprising. There is so much more we can do, there is a
   lot of low hanging fruit but businesses on both sides have to make it a
   priority and it's not for governments to do but governments can either
   make it easy or make it hard and we have to resist, protectionism, other
   kinds of barriers to market access and to trade and I would like to see
   this get much more attention and be not just a policy for a year under
   president X or president Y but a consistent one." [05162013 Remarks to
   Banco Itau.doc, p. 32]
   
    *CLINTON IS MORE FAVORABLE TO CANADIAN HEALTH CARE AND SINGLE PAYER*
   
    *Clinton Said Single-Payer Health Care Systems "Can Get Costs Down," And
   "Is As Good Or Better On Primary Care," But "They Do Impose Things Like
   Waiting Times." *"If you look at countries that are comparable, like
   Switzerland or Germany, for example, they have mixed systems. They don't
   have just a single-payer system, but they have very clear controls over
   budgeting and accountability. If you look at the single-payer systems,
   like Scandinavia, Canada, and elsewhere, they can get costs down because,
   you know, although their care, according to statistics, overall is as good
   or better on primary care, in particular, they do impose things like
   waiting times, you know. It takes longer to get like a hip replacement
   than it might take here." [Hillary Clinton remarks to ECGR Grand Rapids,
   6/17/13]
   
    *Clinton Cited President Johnson's Success In Establishing Medicare And
   Medicaid And Said She Wanted To See The U.S. Have Universal Health Care
   Like In Canada.* "You know, on healthcare we are the prisoner of our past.
   The way we got to develop any kind of medical insurance program was during
   World War II when companies facing shortages of workers began to offer
   healthcare benefits as an inducement for employment. So from the early
   1940s healthcare was seen as a privilege connected to employment. And
   after the war when soldiers came back and went back into the market there
   was a lot of competition, because the economy was so heated up. So that
   model continued. And then of course our large labor unions bargained for
   healthcare with the employers that their members worked for. So from the
   early 1940s until the early 1960s we did not have any Medicare, or our
   program for the poor called Medicaid until President Johnson was able to
   get both passed in 1965. So the employer model continued as the primary
   means by which working people got health insurance. People over 65 were
   eligible for Medicare. Medicaid, which was a partnership, a funding
   partnership between the federal government and state governments, provided
   some, but by no means all poor people with access to healthcare. So what
   we've been struggling with certainly Harry Truman, then Johnson was
   successful on Medicare and Medicaid, but didn't touch the employer based
   system, then actually Richard Nixon made a proposal that didn't go
   anywhere, but was quite far reaching. Then with my husband's
   administration we worked very hard to come up with a system, but we were
   very much constricted by the political realities that if you had your
   insurance from your employer you were reluctant to try anything else. And
   so we were trying to build a universal system around the employer-based
   system. And indeed now with President Obama's legislative success in
   getting the Affordable Care Act passed that is what we've done. We still
   have primarily an employer-based system, but we now have people able to get
   subsidized insurance. So we have health insurance companies playing a
   major role in the provision of healthcare, both to the employed whose
   employers provide health insurance, and to those who are working but on
   their own are not able to afford it and their employers either don't
   provide it, or don't provide it at an affordable price. We are still
   struggling. We've made a lot of progress. Ten million Americans now have
   insurance who didn't have it before the Affordable Care Act, and that is a
   great step forward. (Applause.) And what we're going to have to continue
   to do is monitor what the costs are and watch closely to see whether
   employers drop more people from insurance so that they go into what we call
   the health exchange system. So we're really just at the beginning. But we
   do have Medicare for people over 65. And you couldn't, I don't think, take
   it away if you tried, because people are very satisfied with it, but we
   also have a lot of political and financial resistance to expanding that
   system to more people. So we're in a learning period as we move forward
   with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. And I'm hoping that
   whatever the shortfalls or the glitches have been, which in a big piece of
   legislation you're going to have, those will be remedied and we can really
   take a hard look at what's succeeding, fix what isn't, and keep moving
   forward to get to affordable universal healthcare coverage like you have
   here in Canada. [Clinton Speech For tinePublic – Saskatoon, CA, 1/21/15] "

Here's a interesting quote from Mrs. Hillary Rodamn Clinton from 2013,
obviously way before any Democrat realized that Donald J. Trump
could be running for the Presidency :

             Obviously I'm a Democrat, but there are a lot of
   level-headed, smart Republicans who were biting their nails over this.
   They should be rewarded, not threatened by the far right and people who
   either don't know or don't care about the importance of our being in
   reserve currency, about the importance of our paying the bills that
   we've already run up, about the importance of confidence in the global
   economy should pay a price, and you pay that price at the ballot box.
             Secondly, running for office in our country takes a lot of
   money, and candidates have to go out and raise it.  New York is
   probably the leading site for contributions for fundraising for
   candidates on both sides of the aisle, and it's also our economic
   center.
             And there are a lot of people here who should ask some tough
   questions before handing over campaign contributions to people who were
   really playing chicken with our whole economy.
