Hillary wants to mandate health care, which in turn would force anyone who still can't afford it to be extremely expensive to pay for, and even at the lowest cost, the money you pay for it is taxed on top of that, which in turn negates the lower cost. In Europe, the nationalized health care is free, however, unless it's something simple like antibiotics for an infection, something more serious like cancer treatment will put you on a waiting list, where you'll likely die before having further treatment. (Why many cancer patients come over to the US for treatment.) In the US you get immediate treatment, but it costs a lot of money. Kind of like a double edged sword. Haha, I'm gonna try real hard not to get sick. Europe sure has some good bangers and mash, though. Oh temptation...
