CNN fact checker destroys JD Vance’s claim that Trump saved Obamacare.

October 5, 2024 By Egberto Willies

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

The Trump campaign and specifically JD Vance believe the audience is dumb as he claimed Trump saved Obamacare. Do they forget the past is recorded?

CNN fact checker destroys JD Vance’s claim that Trump saved Obamacare.

Summary:

In a recent fact-check, CNN debunked JD Vance’s claim that Donald Trump “saved” Obamacare, pointing out that Trump’s actions were aimed at dismantling the Affordable Care Act rather than preserving it. Vance’s portrayal of Trump as a healthcare savior was thoroughly dismantled as misleading and inaccurate, with numerous examples of how Trump actively tried to undermine Obamacare.

Key Points:

  • JD Vance claimed Trump “saved” Obamacare despite his opposition to it.
  • CNN fact-checker refuted this, stating Trump tried hard to repeal the ACA in 2017.
  • Trump reduced the open enrollment period and slashed advertising funding for Obamacare.
  • His administration ended key subsidies for insurers and refused to defend critical ACA provisions in court.
  • Vance’s portrayal of Trump was called “bananas” and a blatant distortion of history.

JD Vance’s revisionist history is an insult to the millions of Americans who depend on the Affordable Care Act. Trump’s presidency was marked by a consistent effort to destroy Obamacare without any meaningful alternatives. Progressives must continue to fight for healthcare access and call out such blatant attempts to distort the truth for political gain.
