Donald Trump is blaming “Joe Buden” who “disinformates and misinformates” about his plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamcare, if he wins a second term in office.
Trump, who tried to repeal Obamacare as president and failed and has vowed to try again if re-elected, claimed Tuesday that he wants to improve the program and this “Joe Buden” person is ‘disinformating’ and ‘misinformating’ the public about his plans.
“I’m not running to terminate the ACA, AS CROOKED JOE BUDEN (sic) DISINFORMATES (sic) AND MISINFORMATES (sic) ALL THE TIME, I’m running to CLOSE THE BORDER, STOP INFLATION, MAKE OUR ECONOMY GREAT, STRENGTHEN OUR MILITARY, AND MAKE THE ACA, or OBAMACARE, AS IT IS KNOWN, MUCH BETTER, STRONGER, AND FAR LESS EXPENSIVE,” Trump wrote.
“IN OTHER WORDS, MAKE THE ACA MUCH, MUCH, MUCH BETTER FOR FAR LESS MONEY (OR COST) TO OUR GREST (sic) AMERICAN CITIZENS, WHO HAVE BEEN DECIMATED BY BIDEN, HIS RECORD INFLATION, BAD ECONOMY, AFGHANISTAN CATASTROPHE, AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE. CROOKED JOE BIDEN IS, BY FAR, THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES!” Trump added.
Despite Trump’s claims, he has called for repealing the Affordable Care Act several times since leaving office.
Last November, he promised to terminate’ Obamacare if he’s re-elected, saying the Republican Party “should never give up!” trying to do so. He has also promised to replace it with his “much better” alternative.
More than a decade after its passage, Obamacare remains a very popular healthcare law. According to a KFF tracking poll, 59% of Americans approve of Obamacare.
Joe Biden’s campaign has seized on Trump’s comments in a new digital ad highlight his repeated threats to repeal and replace the law and outlining the consequences of a second Trump term.
“Donald Trump tried to rip away our health care. He failed. But he’s coming back for it,” the ad says. “If he succeeds … 45 million Americans could lose their health insurance. And you could be one of them.”
