Trump hits hard at 'Obamacare' after gloomy report
Associated Press ^ | Oct 25, 2016 11:43 AM EDT | Jonathan Lemire and Steve Peoples

Donald Trump declared Tuesday that “Obamacare is just blowing up,” hoping for powerful late-campaign ammunition against Hillary Clinton after the government projected sharp cost increases for President Barack Obama’s health care program.

Just two weeks before Election Day, the New York businessman addressed the health care development during an appearance at one of his Florida golf resorts that highlighted the extraordinary intersection of his business and political interests. His message was somewhat scattershot, leaving questions of how well he and his party can capitalize on a revived emphasis on “Obamacare.” …

Trump needs to make this the #1 issue down the stretch. OSAMAcare is a disaster, WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!! They expected and wanted it to fail so they could push for single payer. This is our last chance to repeal the piece of crap.

Then why the heck do they still vote Democrat? I don't understand it.

Some possibilities....

1. Most people get their health care ins from their employer and are not aware of the issues. My employer covers my health insurance but not my family so I still have to deal with Obamacare. After a couple of years, my wife and I are experts. Not proud, but we are experts.

2. People not buying health insurance simply ignore the penalty and not pay anything. Of course, that means that their refund will be confiscated by the IRS and what they still owe will accumulate with penalties and interest. They are hoping that it will go away. LOL. Unfortunately, for them and the rest of us it is here to stay!

3. Somewhere I read that the majority of new recipients of “free healthcare” were added to Medicaid. Apparently, there were a lot of poor people who could have been on Medicaid but didn't know it.

4. Lastly: they are dumber than a bag of hammers.

obamacare is a TOTAL disaster, as we knew from the beginning!!!!

Hillary’s “solution”—go to “single-payer”, higher taxes, no choice, little access, and inevitable rationing. I hope that NO ONE is dumb enough to believe that that will solve the problem—or is even meant to!!!!

Trump: Repeal and replace, competition across state lines, medical savings accounts, keep MD’s and medical students in the profession, more choice and access, NO rationing!!!!

As usual, Trump’s policies are MUCH better than Hillary’s, and will Make America Great Again! Vote Trump!!!!

If he doesn’t, I will.

Pre Obamadisastercare, my Emergency Room visits were 50 bucks.

Post Obamadisastercare, It’s over 400 dollars. Ask me how I know.

My premiums spiked through the roof.

But hey... at least we ALL have the “comfort” of knowing that all those Illegal Alien Mexicans and poor “Syrian Refugees” have great free Health Insurance now, at ouor expense.

Gee... Don’t you Feel better already just knowing that?

Maybe it would be cheaper to say you don’t have insurance and pay that way?
