Harris exaggerates Trump’s Obamacare plan

Vice President Kamala Harris frequently claims that former President Donald Trump wants to end the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

“If Donald Trump wins in November, he plans to end the Affordable Care Act,” Harris said at a campaign rally in New Hampshire.

“He wants to end the Affordable Care Act,” she said at another event in Georgia.

Trump has a long history of trying to dismantle the law, which now provides health insurance to a record 21 million Americans.

When Trump was president and Obamacare was less popular than it is now, Trump and Republicans in Congress repeatedly tried to undo President Obama’s most significant legislative achievement, but were unsuccessful.

Trump still opposes the Affordable Care Act, but he has changed his position on whether he will try to repeal the law again.

In December, he promised on his social media platform that he would come up with a “much better and cheaper alternative.”

But in April, Trump reversed his position.

In a video posted online, he said he would enforce the law unless there was a way to improve it, a position he is now saying.

“I’m going to keep the Affordable Care Act unless we can do something much better,” Trump said at an August rally in North Carolina. “I’m going to keep it unless we can come up with something that’s better for you and less expensive for you.”

However, Trump has never provided specific information about any changes he plans to make to the Affordable Care Act.

So Harris’s claim that Trump plans to end the Affordable Care Act is largely false.

After years of trying to repeal the law, Trump now says he wants to keep it and improve it. He has not provided details about what exactly he would do, however.
