Hillary Clinton was campaign- ing for her husband in January 1992 when she learned of the race’s newest flare-up: Gennifer Flowers had just released tapes of phone calls with Bill Clinton to back up her claim they had had an affair. Other candidates had been driven out of races by accusations of infidelity. But now, at a cold, dark airfield in South Dakota, Mrs. Clinton was questioning campaign aides by phone and vowing to fight back on behalf of her husband. “Who’s tracking down all the re- search on Gennifer?” she asked, according to a journalist traveling with her at the time. The enduring image of Mrs. Clinton from that campaign was a “60 Minutes” interview in which she told the country she was not blindly supporting her husband out of wifely duty. “I’m not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette,” she said. But stand by she did, holding any pain or doubts in check as the campaign battled to keep the Clin- tons’ political aspirations alive. Last week, Donald J. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, criticized Mrs. Clinton over Mr. Clinton’s affairs and her response to them, and said he might talk more about the issue in the final weeks before the election. That could be a treacherous strategy for Mr. Trump, given his own past infidelity and question- able treatment of women. Many voters, particularly women, might see Mrs. Clinton being blamed for her husband’s conduct. It could also remind voters of a searing period in American his- tory, and in Mrs. Clinton’s life. Confronting a spouse’s unfaith- fulness is painful under any cir- cumstance. For Mrs. Clinton, it happened repeatedly and in the most public of ways, unfolding at the dawn of the 24/7 news cycle, and later in impeachment pro- ceedings that convulsed the na- tion.

WASHINGTON — The fierce struggle to enact and carry out the Affordable Care Act was sup- posed to put an end to 75 years of fighting for a health care system to insure all Americans. Instead, the law’s troubles could make it just a way station on the road to another, more stable health care system, the shape of which could be determined on Election Day. Seeing a lack of competition in many of the health law’s online in- surance marketplaces, Hillary Clinton, President Obama and much of the Democratic Party are calling for more government, not less. The departing president, the woman who seeks to replace him and nearly one-third of the Senate have endorsed a new govern- ment-sponsored health plan, the so-called public option, to give consumers an additional choice. A significant number of Democrats, for whom Senator Bernie Sanders spoke in the primaries, favor a sin- gle-payer arrangement, which could take the form of Medicare for all. Donald J. Trump and Republi- cans in Congress would go in the direction of less government, re- ducing federal regulation and re- quirements so insurance would cost less and no-frills options could proliferate. Mr. Trump would, for example, encourage greater use of health savings ac- counts, allow insurance policies to be purchased across state lines and let people take tax deductions for insurance premium payments. In such divergent proposals lies an emerging truth: Mr. Obama’s signature domestic achievement will almost certainly have to change to survive. The two parties agree that for too many people, health plans in the individual in- surance market are still too ex- pensive and inaccessible. “Employer markets are fairly stable, but the individual insur- ance market does not feel stable at all,” said Janet S. Trautwein, the chief executive of the National As- sociation of Health Underwriters, which represents more than 100,000 agents and brokers who specialize in health insurance. “In many states, the individual mar- ket is in a shambles.” Mr. Obama himself, while boast- NEXT PRESIDENT LIKELY TO SHAPE HEALTH LAW FATE CHANGES SEEN AS NEEDED Troubles in Insurance Marketplaces Draw Divergent Plans By ROBERT PEAR Continued on Page A14 Donald J. Trump and his allies struggled on Sunday to move be- yond the revelation that he might have been able to legally avoid nearly two decades of federal in- come taxation, putting new pres- sure on the candidate just as he tries to recover from a lackluster debate performance. Mr. Trump’s campaign lurched between refusing to acknowledge that the 1995 tax records, portions of which were published on Satur- day night by The New York Times, were bona fide, to insisting that his not having paid taxes was evi- dence of his unrivaled business prowess. The Times report, based on doc- uments obtained by the newspa- per, showed that Mr. Trump, the Republican nominee, declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 in- come tax returns, which could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years. At a rally in Lancaster County, Pa., that began shortly before the article was published, Mr. Trump seemed jarred by the pending rev- elation, shifting from topic to topic; mocking his Democratic ri- val, Hillary Clinton, for having had pneumonia; and insinuating that she might have cheated on her husband. The performance capped a bruising week for Mr. Trump, who went from a widely panned debate performance against Mrs. Clinton on Sept. 26 to repeatedly mocking Alicia Machado, a former Miss Universe who is Hispanic, includ- ing with a string of Twitter posts around 5 a.m. on Friday. That Twitter storm raised new ques- tions about Mr. Trump’s tem- perament, for which Mrs. Clinton has often criticized him. Mr. Trump is now limping into the final five weeks of a race in which he has lost the momentum, some of his allies acknowledged. “This is the most important week of his campaign,” said Newt Gingrich, a former House speaker Campaign Struggles to Move Past Tax Revelation By MAGGIE HABERMAN and NICHOLAS FANDOS Continued on Page A16 Now we know: Donald J. Trump racked up losses so huge in the early 1990s that he would- n’t have had to pay federal or New York State income tax on nearly a billion dol- lars in income. None of this seems to have made the slightest dent in Mr. Trump’s opulent lifestyle over the years. At the nadir of his person- al financial crisis in the early 1990s, his lenders put him on an annual “budget” of $450,000 in personal expenses — more than enough to sustain his lifestyle of lavish homes, private jets, coun- try clubs and golf courses — even as he was using the tax code to avoid paying any federal income tax. It’s hard to imagine a starker contrast with the vast number of Americans who struggle to both pay taxes and make ends meet, or a more damning indictment of a tax code that makes that possi- ble. “If it wasn’t clear before, it is now: The tax code is tilted to- ward the rich in its statutory framework, its exceptions, and in how it is enforced and adminis- tered,” said Steven M.
