When the polls close on Election Day in November, Hillary Clinton will emerge as the winner of the campaign the presidency. Her victory will likely secure for the Democrats new seats in the House and Senate. And those gains will prompt renewed bipartisan cooperation on pressing national issues, not least provisions of the Affordable Care Act that need fixing.
Former U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd made these predictions during a Tuesday keynote address at Benefits Selling Expo, being held in Fort Lauderdale April 18-20. Now Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America, Dodd offered a wide-ranging critique of current events and the fraught political landscape.
Amid the rancor of the current election season and Americans' pessimism about the future, Dodd said he remains "hopeful" that, come 2017, the nation's political leaders will put aside differences to address legislation needed to reform the immigration system, taxation, Social Security, Medicare and other top national concerns.
