That's because it would be worth undoing the accommodations of the private health insurance system in the ACA if we could replace it with single-payer.

If this sort of stupidity becomes the theme of Hillary's campaign going forward, I may have to change my voting intentions.

I don't mean this in a rude or crass way, but good lord she is not exactly a looker. Not that she had the best genetics to work with but.....yikes.

Literally all of the candidates are middle-aged or older, none of them should be expected to look like anything other than their age.

It's disingenuous to criticize Sanders for wanting a Medicaid-for-all program that "leaves it up to the states" while defending Obamacare, when Obamacare itself was designed to vest its biggest and most tangible changes with respect to lowering the rate of uninsured in the states as well. From working within the existing parameters of Medicaid and Medicare, to signing off on state-based healthcare exchanges, Obamacare's real-world, specific mechanics were very much state-based. Sure, some loose parameters are governed by federal requirements, but those were never designed to be the bulk of the benefit in terms of lowering the rate of uninsured.

This is an incredibly cogent point.
