Bill Clinton attacks Obamacare as “the craziest thing in the world.”
From Tuesday’s issue of the Daily Mail:
Bill Clinton lambasted President Barack Obama's signature law as 'the craziest thing in the world' on Monday.
The poor and the elderly are getting a good deal, the former Oval Office occupant said of Obamacare.
'The people who are getting killed in this deal are small business people and individuals who make just a little too much to get any of these subsidies,' he contended.
The ex-president was campaigning in Flint, Michigan, for his wife when he tore down Obama'a health care law.
'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 and it’s the craziest thing in the world,' Clinton said.
Clinton said the simplest way to fix the system would be to ‘figure out an affordable rate and let people use that.'
Insurers are overcharging in case they get ‘unlucky’ and lose money, he stated.
‘It doesn't make any sense. The insurance model doesn't work here; it's not like life insurance, it's not like casualties, it's not like predicting flooding. It doesn't work.
If only I could have been a fly on the wall when Obama got word of Bill’s remarks. I’ll bet America’s first black president almost turned white.
