In 1992 Bill Clinton's campaign promise was 'putting people first' and national health care. Instead they put Wall Street first when they pushed through NAFTA and bailed out transnational corporations who had invested in Mexico. Clinton had to spread around $7.5 billion worth of pork in order to get Congress to pass the trade bill that Bush 41 was not able to pass.

While American workers lost jobs to cheap labor in Mexico, profits on Wall Street skyrocketed and the Dow actually tripled during the Clinton presidency.

They ran as a couple; buy one, get two. So for Hillary to distance herself from NAFTA , 'one has to suspend disbelief'. If they had worked as hard on passing a health care bill as they did on NAFTA, wew would not have 47 million uninsured in the U.S.
