Washington (CNN) — Bill Clinton criticized President Barack Obama's
signature policy reform while on the stump for his wife, Democratic
presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, calling Obamacare "the craziest thing
in the world."
Speaking Monday at a Democratic rally in Flint, Michigan, the former
president ripped into the Affordable Care Act for flooding the health care
insurance market and causing premiums to rise for middle-class Americans who
do not qualify for subsidies.
"So you've got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more
people have health care and then the people who are out there busting it,
sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their
coverage cut in half. It's the craziest thing in the world," Clinton said.
Clinton, whose efforts with his wife to overhaul health care in the 1990s
were stymied by a recalcitrant Congress and the insurance lobby, told the
crowd the insurance model "doesn't make sense" and "doesn't work here." |
