A coalition of civil rights activists, labor leaders and religious leaders held a rally outside Boehners Springfield office in July 2013.

At the time, Boehner and other Republican leaders in the House said they were deciding on how to move forward after the Senate passed a comprehensive bill that included a path to citizenship for 11 million people already living in the country illegally.

Now it appears unlikely that any major legislation will be done ahead of the 2014 election.

According to recent Associated Press reports, lawmakers have all but wrapped up their most consequential work ahead of the election.

Hillary Clinton open to "evidence-based" Obamacare changes

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a baby step into the radioactive politics of Obamacare on Wednesday, using a pair of speeches in Florida to stake out a nuanced defense of the law that Republicans have used to criticize President Obama for years - and one they hope to deploy against Clinton if she runs for president in 2016.

"I think we are on the right track in many respects but I would be the first to say if things aren't working then we need people of good faith to come together and make evidence-based changes," Clinton said during a speech in Orlando before the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, according to CNN.

She singled out Obamacare's impact on small businesses for review, particularly the law's requirement for businesses with over 50 employees to provide health coverage to those employees. But she embraced certain aspects of the law, including the provision of free preventive care and the retention of young adults on their parents' insurance plan through the age of 26.

"Part of the challenge is to clear away all the smoke and to try to figure out what is working and what isn't," Clinton explained, blaming "misinformation" from the law's opponents for much of the confusion. "What do we need to do to try to fix this? Because it would be a great tragedy, in my opinion, to take away what has now been provided...I don't think we should throw the baby out with the bath."

Republicans, whose criticism of Obamacare shows no signs of abating, quickly slammed Clinton for her defense of the controversial law.

"We're glad to hear Hillary is embracing Obamacare and look forward to her campaigning on it in 2016," the Republican National Committee said in an email shortly after Clinton spoke.

Earlier on Wednesday, the RNC previewed Clinton's remarks with another email: "Even as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was a strong supporter of Obamacare." That charge stemmed from a new book, "HRC," that says Clinton played a "pivotal, if underappreciated" role in corralling support for Mr. Obama's proposed health-care reforms among his cabinet members.

Clinton is no newcomer to the tricky politics of health care reform: During the 1990s, when her husband, Bill Clinton, was president, the then-first lady led an unsuccessful attempt to overhaul America's health-care system. Her proposal at the time came to be known as "Hillarycare."

After her address in Orlando, Clinton traveled to the University of Miami to speak to over 6,000 students and faculty members, urging young people in the audience to sign up for insurance.

"You can't sit here today and tell me for sure you won't have a car accident, you won't have a slip or a fall, you won't have some kind of disease that you never thought you would ever be stricken by," she warned, according to the Washington Post. "You just don't know - nobody knows."

Hillary Clinton, Pre-2016, Gingerly Addresses ObamaCare Debacle, Supports Evidence-Based Changes

By Lambert Strether of Corrente.

Hillary Clinton* gave two back-to-back speeches on health care in the 2016** swing state of Florida. The later one, at the University of Miami, was visionary (I think the word is) and a sales pitch to UM students to sign up for insurance. The earlier one, the keynote at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference, is more interesting. Sadly, as of this writing an official transcript is not online, and reporters were not allowed in the hall (!). So Ill have to cobble the Clinton* quotes together from multiple sources.

Heres what I think is the key section (which is not the same as what the press thinks is the key section). From Health Populis live transcript in the hall:

[CLINTON:] I am a believer in the idea that good data helps to make good decisions. Its true in life.

Its important to be guided by evidence about what works and what doesntnot ideology or personally held beliefs.

Unfortunately weve seen too often in Washington recently that many of our public debates take place in an evidence-free zone. (Applause) That is bad news for anyone who wants to get something done who would rather choose common ground over scorched earth. (Applause)

For example, the hyper politicized debate from the beginning has been often more about ideology than about data and what we can learn. The scare tactics have not necessarily helped us understand how best to improve care, lower costs, expand coveragebut to keep what works at the same time. Thats why we need what youre doing so badly. To get back to evidence-based policy debates. And to use that when we need to fix things.

OK, lets talk about evidence-based just for one second. As I wrote:

The key point to remember in all discussions of ObamaCare is that neither it, nor indeed the entire private health insurance industry, should exist. They are rent-seeking parasites, economic tapeworms. One does not improve a tapeworm; one removes it.

To understand this simple point, all we need to do is look north to Canada, where we see a single payer system they call it Medicare delivering equal or better health outcomes at dramatically lower cost, without a health insurance industry, and without ObamaCares bizarre, mystifying, and above all unfair Rube Goldberg-esque complexity. In fact, if wed passed HR 676 in 2009, we would have saved hundreds of billions of dollars by now (more than enough to cover everyone) and thousands of lives, though ObamaCare apologists dont like to talk much about the excess deaths that ObamaCares achingly slow rollout caused and is still causing.
