>>So, please spare me the sexist/right-wing conspiracy propaganda. HRC is neither fit nor trustworthy to carry Nancy's briefcase.

That's just more ad feminem politics. "I don't like her, so her ideas are rubbish! Obama is from the other party, so white ant him!" On and on the ad hominem/feminem posturing digs the hole deeper and deeper.

>>I agree with that [socialized care for more than just gerontocracy] and it's inevitable that it will happen. However, please show me where she proposed that.

So you don't even know what she was proposing? There you have it: automatically scoffed at if it involves HRC.

>>She did however oppose eliminating the cap on FICA and Medicare contributions- which will make both sound into the next decade- till Bernie forced her into it.

I've got a better idea: instead of targeting small businesspeople to pay for your healthcare by lifting their cap, why not calculate the amount current Medicare beneficiaries underpaid for the services they expect to consume, and figure out a way to claw that back. That would be the fairest of all. This is better than the obscene prospect of people older than 65 dickering importantly over who apart from themselves should pay for a deficit caused by their own generation accumulating private wealth rather than underwriting their own predictable future costs.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
