Republican VP nominee JD Vance discusses Donald Trump’s debate performance, false claims about Haitian immigrants, abortion and health care during an interview with Meet the Press.
WASHINGTON — To hear Republican nominee Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance tell it, he wasn’t trying to eliminate the Affordable Care Act as president. He “saved” it. In the presidential debate and in recent TV interviews, Trump and Sen. Vance, R-Ohio, have depicted the former president as selflessly choosing to protect the ACA, or “Obamacare,” during his four years in office as a way to put country over politics. “Obamacare was lousy health care. Always was. It’s not very good today.
The legislative push was never revived, with one exception: Trump and Republicans succeeded at zeroing out the ACA’s tax penalty for most Americans who failed to buy insurance. But Trump persisted in seeking other ways to take aim at the ACA. He leaned on his executive power and his administration slashed funding for programs to advertise and promote ACA sign-ups. Enrollment dipped the following year, in 2018, with some blaming the cuts in funding.
