Donald Trump ominously predicted that a failure to “repeal and replace” Obamacare “will destroy American health care forever” at a Tuesday in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
The Republican nominee said that if elected, he would convene a special session of Congress to undo President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare legislation “very, very quickly.”
Trump’s list of criticisms of the existing law include rising premiums, “fleeing” insurance companies, “frozen” hiring and “workers’ hours being cut.”
Hillary Clinton, Trump said, would expand the legislation “and make it even more expensive.”
“She wants to put the government totally in charge of health care in America,” Trump said.
Trump spent far less time outlining his own health care plan, offering up a few sentences about providing health savings accounts and a nationwide insurance market, as well as allowing states to manage Medicaid dollars.
“It will be a much better health care at a much less cost,” Trump assured the Valley Forge audience.
Only six minutes of Trump’s brief, 21-minute address, billed as a speech on Obamacare, actually touched on healthcare legislation. Trump’s running mate Mike Pence provided more detail in his own opening remarks, but Trump pivoted early on to his “plan for other things” including bringing back manufacturing jobs, sealing off U.S. borders and revitalizing “the inner cities.”
This next week is going to be really painful. If Trump wins… Good God, what are we doing?
Ok. Ok. You’ve convinced me. I’ll vote for her.
Nationwide insurance market is the worst idea ever. It will be a race to the bottom to see ho can offer the least amount possible for the lowest price. People will not get coverage.
If Trump wins it’s at the very least the beginning of the end of America.
My question is, why would the MSM – CNN, NYT, NBC etc – bolster and help this fascist goon so much??? He will shred the first amendment and go after them. Disturbing.

“Just look at all those people drowning in affordable government health care all over the rest of the civilized world. Oh the humanity!” he went on.
