President Donald Trump trashed Obamacare as a means to make insurance companies rich during his remarks in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, on Friday night.
Trump’s comments come hours after he said he would be calling a meeting of health insurance companies to see if they can drop their prices and as House Republicans have sent legislation to the Senate to reduce health care costs.
“The current Unaffordable Care Act, commonly known as Barack Hussein Obamacare, was created to make insurance companies rich. It was bad health care at much too high a cost, and you see now that the steep increase in premiums — it’s being demanded by the Democrats,” he said.
