Hillary's crusade has always been healthcare reform, and it's the only part of Obama's presidency that she doesn't seem to be focusing on/touting in her stump speeches. It was left out of the video package at the DNC that aired before she came out and she seemed to used it as a stepping off point in the last debate.
Hillary is about healthcare reform and has been since the 90s. If she has political capital and a non-beholden congress and senate that will be her legacy policy initiative: single payer healthcare.
Unfortunately the democratic party is nearly as beholden to insurance and pharmaceutical interests as the republican party so I have my doubts about her ability to pass meaningful reforms even through a democratic senate.
