Hillary Clinton: Trumpcare’s Failure A ‘Victory For ‘Victory For All Americans’

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded on Twitter Friday to the Republicans failure to pass their Obamacare repeal bill by calling it a “victory for all Americans.”

Clinton, who beat Donald Trump in the popular vote by roughly 3 million votes, has generally kept a low profile since the election.

However on Friday she released a statement on Twitter celebrating the victory for Democrats and urged them to continue the fight.

Clinton’s statement opened with, “Today was a victory for the 24,000,000 people at risk of losing their health insurance, for seniors, for families battling the quiet epidemic of addiction, for new moms and women everywhere. Most of all, it’s a victory for anyone who believes affordable health care is a human right.”

Clinton credited the grassroots movement for the the victory saying, “We cannot forget: This victory happened because people in ever corner of our country committed their time and energy to calling their representatives, showing up at town hall meetings, and making their voices hear.”

However Clinton was also quick to remind us that Democrats must continue the fight. “The fight isn’t over yet – we will have to push back on future bad ideas and embrace good ones to make health care more affordable — but we are reminded today that there is no substitute for standing up and defending our values.
