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.” …

yeah, it's not as if he has a point or anything, it's all politics isn't it, AP?
ALL healthcare premiums are up - and up substantually - due to obama’s interference.
Afer doubling since the institution of so-called obamacare, Jack Hammer’s premium is going up another hundred bucks by year’s end.
Everything the government touches turns to sh*t.
Obama, you built that...
THIS is what Trump needs to keep pounding on...have people come on and explain some things about it, so the people can hear it’s just not Trump that thinks it’s a scam...
Good, Keep on this Trump!!!
They may not know which party forced them to buy extremely expensive health insurance which is mostly worthless until you have spent an additional thousands of dollars towards the deductible or take an almost equally expensive penalty, er uh tax, of thousands of dollars for some if they don't buy the insurance. Many people don't have a few spare thousand dollars laying around to afford the tax and they certainly don't have the extra thousands of dollars for the insurance.
Or which party created a law that decimated the old health system and replaced it with one where you lose your doctor of 20 years and have to drive across town, where premiums are skyrocketing, where you are forced to buy coverage that you would never use, etc. etc. and worst of all we are worse off than before Obamacare.
He’s using the wrong messaging on this...by saying that ObamaCare is blowing up, he is telling voters that it will not be around for long, which is the same as getting rid of it, so there is no need to change your vote.
He needs to stay on the theme of the costs going up dramatically.
I am very curious why Obama did not just sit on these numbers for a few more weeks. Hmmmm......
I wish that he'd drop the second half of that and stick with just repeal.
Literally, we rarely go to the doctor anymore. I suffer from migraines and I usually get the RX from my OB when I do the yearly thing (because that is FREE due to the War on WomenTM). She would not write it this year (different doc) and swore to me she was not allowed by law to write migraine scripts. It was really weird but that's another issue.
Anyhow, I had to break down and go to the GP to get it filled. She looked at my chart and said, "You haven't been in in 8 years". I said, "Yeah, who can afford it anymore?"
The GOP-e incumbents and candidates pulled a bait-and-switch during the 2014 midterms, going from “repeal Obamacare” to “repeal and replace” same the closer things got to Election Day. And of course, when they got in power, they fully funded Obamacare instead.
Checked the 2017 exchange rates for my area. The cheapest Bronze plan for someone around 60 went from $6K a year to over $10K a year with subsidies. Silver and gold plans will be over $12.5K and $15K..
Hillary is planning on raising your taxes too, so food and shelter are probably out of the question.
with subsidies should be without subsidies
yeap, Thank you Paul Lyin Ryan and Turtle McConnell.
Conspirators in the plot to screw over Middle America.
I bet the weasels already have their 2018 Midterm campaigns written. ‘Only we can stop Hillary...”
Like the Bald Faced Liars did in 14.
Did some checking on your picture. Wells had a grandfathered policy for a family of 5 that got cancelled. He and his wife look to be in their mid 40’s. Kids under 21.
