If that were true, the APA might have been single payer.I thought that like a majority of self-identified democrats supported single-payer at this point.
No idea whether support for single payer has gone up since then, as you mentioned.

The article is a rather disconcerting read, considering how close she was and now is again to the White House.For all that has been written and said about Hillary Clinton’s epic collapse in the Democratic primaries, one issue still nags. Everybody knows what happened. But we still don’t have a clear picture of how it happened, or why.
The after-battle assessments in the major newspapers and newsweeklies generally agreed on the big picture: the campaign was not prepared for a lengthy fight; it had an insufficient delegate operation; it squandered vast sums of money; and the candidate herself evinced a paralyzing schizophrenia—one day a shots-’n’-beers brawler, the next a Hallmark Channel mom. Through it all, her staff feuded and bickered, while her husband distracted. But as a journalistic exercise, the “campaign obit” is inherently flawed, reflecting the viewpoints of those closest to the press rather than empirical truth.
How did things look on the inside, as they unraveled?
To find out, I approached a number of current and former Clinton staffers and outside consultants and asked them to share memos, e-mails, meeting minutes, diaries—anything that would offer a contemporaneous account.
YUP.I'm a Bernie person, I guess, but damn a lot of Bernie people ruin Bernie.
A top surrogate for Hillary Clinton is prepping a new attack in an intensifying and increasingly personal war against rival Bernie Sanders -- calling on the 74-year-old to release his medical records before the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.
Clinton defender David Brock -- founder of the Correct the Record PAC, which coordinates directly with Clinton’s campaign -- is expected to hit the airwaves this weekend from Charleston, the scene of the third Democratic debate on Sunday night, and challenge Sanders to cough up a clean bill of health and doctor’s note in the next 16 days
She shouldn't be going negative at all.Hillary doesn't even need the help of her supporters on that count.

Which is why we need Bernie to run for president and talk about it.Total speculation, but in regards to single payer, even if you support the concept there is no chance it happens here in the near future. So for a Democrat, it's probably safer to publicly support reform of the current system, which people know, rather than opening yourself up to attacks about a system many voters probably don't understand.
