Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy swiped at former President Donald Trump on Thursday for failing to repeal and replace the health care overhaul championed by his predecessor, former President Barack Obama.
“I am never somebody who will make a false promise,” Ramaswamy said at an event in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. “My friend Donald Trump promised us: repeal and replace Obamacare. Eight years later, did it happen? No, it did not. It is a false promise if it is contingent on Congress.” *** It was a rare dig at Trump by Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old businessman who is a fierce defender of the former president even while running against him for the 2024 Republican nomination. Ramaswamy has referred to Trump as the best president of the 21st century and at times has drawn criticism from other campaigns for his praise of Trump. Ramaswamy hit Trump on Obamacare when asked about tax policy. He said many presidents make mistakes by focusing on legislative matters first.
At the first GOP debate, which Trump skipped, Ramaswamy vowed to pardon the former president if given the chance and called him “the best president of the 21st century.” In an interview with ABC “This Week" earlier this month, Ramaswamy said he didn't believe Trump had done anything illegal in response to questions about the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and the classified documents found at his Florida home.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yeah I have seen all of that.
Yeah, I have heard that, but I haven’t seem it myself. so it is second hand evidence. But I don’t believe he has a chance anyway.
Yeah, the markups at hospitals are ridiculous, but part of the problem are the uninsured.
Obamacare doesn’t need to be repealed, the problem is there are too many waivers and exemptions for special groups.
We need to abolish all waivers and require every public employee nationwide enroll in Obamacare and pay for it themselves.
Yes. His last FU to America before he met his maker.
My first thought, as well. Vivek was still a liberal then? /sarc
The five FDA approved drugs:
Rethymic (infants born without a thymus)
Myfembree (uterine fibroids)
VTAMA (plaque psoriasis)
Gemtesa (bladder problems)
Orgovyx (prostate cancer)
part of the problem are the uninsured .... isn’t that how the hospitals ‘write off’ their expenses.
Or is that something that the ‘ever so smart government’ stopped allowing them to do, just like they did with people taking the basic deduction not being able to write off, mortgage interest and property taxes.
Then again, many of the uninsured were showing up at the ER for stomach aches.
And now, all the illegals are flooding every ER, knowing they can’t be turned away.
From a nurse in the area I live in....right now in the hospital in Rockdale County, Georgia are two elderly, illegal aliens. They have no family and there is no way for the hospital to collect any payment. They cannot be discharged from the hospital. They are taking up two, needed beds and are costing the hospital $$$. Nothing they can do about it.
There was a video floating on YouTube, from a few years ago, of a nurse talking about caring for illegals. Said one of them ran up $1,000,000 in medical bills. Usually, those are the guys that are either messed up during a crime or construction workers that get hurt on the job and dropped off in front of the ER.
We are such suckers.
Well, I did!
But you reminded me, NaughtyNurse!
Thanx and FReegards!
IOW, he was “All In!”
To disable President Trump’s first two years!
We want repeal but not the replace.
We have been taken down from within. Many in this country are not even aware of that fact. This is a plan that has been in the works for decades. That is why people seem to think this is just another election cycle.
People had better wake up to the reality, and quickly.
What a snake.
McCain killed the repeal.
John McCain is right...Same as Paul Ryan subverted the completion of the wall.
Now he’s gone negative attacking Trump. Did he notice where DeSantis went attacking Trump?
If they looked at this election.. None of them can win over Trump. If they are counting on Trump gone.. If that became so, we’d be in a real mess.. And more.
Vivek is another poser who real self is being exposed.
Indeed he’s as dangerous as Biden has zero international skills know little how to manage government all he has is a ego and fast talking look at me line.
Lolz
Many in this country are not even aware of that fact.
That, right there, Robert DeLong. I’ve talked to folks here in Georgia. Completely unaware of the damage that Kemp has done and is continuing to do. Not one of them has a clue.
And then just increase that exponentially and here we are.
We are just the really important nation that must fall, or so they believe, for the elites to assume control with a One World Government.
But Russia, China & the India will not follow. South America will follow China, as will Central America & Africa. The geopolitical landscape will be one of extreme danger, and the elites will most likely lose. Then the in-fighting begins to determine the sole superpower of the world. Only the return of the Lord will have the power to defeat what eventually rises to the top.
