He has made noises on merit pay for (public) teachers, so he has created distance from and owes no quid to this lobby. The crux of Michelle Obama's gig with the U. of Chicago Hospitals was to develop patient options that short-circuited their potential visit to the ER (community clinics, preventative care ops). So I think he has a good skepticicsm of public institutions and since he draws his electoral strength from less-government dependent types of people (younger, self-employed, private sector types) than does HRC, he is probably as much if not more libertarian than McCain.
