The "communist" reference refers to the disastrous 1994 Healthcare plan. It was done in the European model (note that, unlike in America, the vast majority of Europeans like their healthcare system. Also note that Europe is next to the former Soviet Union. For a lot of ignorant Americans, this is scary.). The vast majority of Americans resented the fact that the first lady was put in charge of the reform and it was definitely a political mistake. Much to the chagrin of Conservatives, Hillary Clinton's work in the Senate has been very cooperative and bipartisan. Just ask Rick Santorum. But stick an unsubstantiated Marxist-Leninist label on Senator Clinton and you'll still find people willing to believe it.
