House Democrat Hits Trump With Nothing But Receipts Over His 'Phenomenal' Health Care Fail
HuffPost
Rep. Jim McGovern stressed that Americans are "sick and tired" of the GOP's "empty rhetoric" on the issue.
Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) on Wednesday read from a laundry list of President Donald Trump’s failed promises to deliver a new health care plan to replace the Affordable Care Act.
In remarks on the House floor, McGovern checked Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) moments after she declared that Republicans “have always proposed alternatives” to the ACA framework.
“But the truth is they’ve always said they have a plan but they’ve never had a plan,” McGovern said.
McGovern turned the clock back to February 2016 when Trump, then a GOP presidential candidate, vowed to repeal and replace Obamacare with “something so much better” if he were elected president.
He zoomed through more of Trump’s claims in the years since that a “really terrific,” “great,” “fantastic,” “phenomenal,” “full and complete” health care plan that’d be “so much better” than Obamacare was on the way.
