Except that she didn't. In the quote you provided.
Not once is a real solution mentioned. Same old smoke and mirrors of making promises no politician can keep, because there is no actual solution there. All she had to do was utter the words, universal healthcare, or medicare for all, or single payer system, and that would made the case. What she said, and what you posted, was political bull#### that screams "I don't have a solution."
The other snippet about her ability to understand the problems facing average Americans.
That is not reaching out to Americans and telling them you understand their plight. That is more policy wonk bull#### that people see right through. That is an appeal more to industry than it is to the people who need help. Great, you're committing $30B to something, but what am I getting out of this? What problem for me does this directly address? Is this going to get me my job back? Nothing concrete. An if you actually look at that plan, it doesn't align with other promises and contradicts itself. Coal communities are not going to make the United States a 21st Century energy superpower. Suggesting as much is blowing dirty smoke up the keisters of everyone.
She did none of that, which is why there was still a rift within the party. If she had adopted those key platform planks, the party would have united quickly and decisively.
Which means she was out of her element then, and an even worse politician than anyone imagined.
Disagree all you want, but the results speak for themselves.
Because she never countered the narrative. She never gained control of the narrative. She was her own worst enemy because she allowed Trump to frame her as he pleased.
Yeah, she was stiff and unlikeable, and that's coming from someone who supported her.
What election cycle did you watch??? Trump owned the media cycle, good and bad, and made sure he was able to frame Clinton as he pleased. Clinton never fought back with any significant force, and failed at making anything stick. Trump gave her opportunity after opportunity and she couldn't close the deal.
People are not logical. They are emotional beings and will vote with their heart and rarely use their heads. Have you not read the hockey forum? People ignore their heads and follow their hearts all the time. Whether it be bringing back an ex-player, or what prospect is the next big thing, or what player to draft, emotion plays into every decision and logic is ignored.

So, I had a long answer typed up the other day, but was in weekend golf tournament and had to leave it, unfinished, and when I got back, it was not on the ipad.
So, to recap,,, what I was looking for was some detailed things she should have said, like a quote, something you would have said verbatim, if you were her.
Your point of universal healthcare, fit my request, and I don't think that would have done anything except hurt her more. Most of Americans thought that Obamacare and ACA were separate things, and Republicans and Fox news had them convinced Obamacare was evil.
Anyways, my point is, I don't think she could have said or done anything to change the results, and I'll just leave it at that.
My second point is, Trump is a moron, and the American voters got what they deserved.
