Addressing a campaign event here in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania just a week before the elections that focused on the issue of healthcare, Trump described Obamacare as a “catastrophe”. He vowed that as president he would ask the Congress to hold a special session in order to repeal the ambitious healthcare programme.
“When we win on November 8, and elect a Republican Congress, we will be able to immediately repeal and replace Obamacare. I will ask Congress to convene a special session,” Trump said in his nearly 20-minute speech to the gathering.
“Obamacare is a catastrophe. The president said if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, which may go down as one of the great political lies of the century. Even the sceptical
Democrats believed him and approved the legislation. No one even read the 2,700-page bill,” he said, as the audience cheered him and booed Obama’s healthcare plan.
