Trump Blasts Obamacare

In the small town of Geneva, Ohio, 50 miles to the northeast of where the Indians and Cubs split the first two games of the World Series, Donald Trump lit into something just a tad less American than baseball or apple pie: Obamacare.

Trump said,

Real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing Obamacare. It has just been announced that Americans are going to experience another massive double-digit hike in Obamacare premiums, including a 116 percent premium-hike in the great state of Arizona. Even Bill Clinton admitted Obamacare is “the craziest thing in the world,” where “people wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half.”

Trump then drew a clear contrast with his rival:

Hillary Clinton wants to double-down on Obamacare, destroying American healthcare forever. Just this year, Hillary Clinton declared that Obamacare “is one of the greatest accomplishments of President Obama, of the Democratic party, and of our country.” Here in Ohio, another five insurance companies are dropping out of Obamacare. That means all the residents covered by plans from these companies will be getting cancellation notices. It’s a catastrophe.

Drawing attention to the two-tiered health-care system that Obamacare is slowly bringing about, Trump added, “Hillary has access to the best doctors in the world, but wants you and your children to live under Obamacare.” He summed up his message as follows: “Repealing Obamacare is one of the single most important reasons why we must win on November 8th.”

It is good to see the most important legislation of the Obama presidency finally starting to take center stage—where it belongs—as this campaign approaches its climax. The more Trump talks about Obamacare, the more likely both he and down-ballot Republicans are to win their races.
