Trump Slams Obamacare Deductible, Says 'Great Healthcare' Is Possible After Ruling
- 5 years ago
President Trump on Monday again went after Obamacare.
President Trump on Monday slammed Obamacare, days after the judge ruled that the healthcare law is unconstitutional.
"The DEDUCTIBLE which comes with ObamaCare is so high that it is practically not even useable! Hurts families badly. We have a chance, working with the Democrats, to deliver great HealthCare! A confirming Supreme Court Decision will lead to GREAT HealthCare results for Americans!" Trump tweeted.
Meanwhile, former President Obama had a much different reaction to the ruling.
Obama said, in part, in a Facebook post that the ruling "changes nothing for now. As this decision makes its way through the courts, which will take months, if not years, the law remains in place and will likely stay that way. Open enrollment is proceeding as planned today."
"But all of this should also be a reminder that Republicans will never stop trying to undo all that," Obama also said. "If they can't get it done in Congress, they'll keep trying in the courts, even when it puts people's pre-existing conditions coverage at risk. The only way to convince them to stop trying to repeal this law, and start working to make health care better, is to keep voting, in big numbers, in every election, for people who'll protect and improve our care."
The ruling was announced late Friday.
The judge struck down the entire Affordable Care Act "on the grounds that its mandate requiring people to buy health insurance is unconstitutional and the rest of the law cannot stand without it," notes the New York Times.
