Bill Clinton calls Obamacare 'the craziest thing in the world'

During an event Monday in Flint, Michigan, Bill Clinton spoke out about how middle- and lower-income Americans are being squeezed by high health insurance premiums.

Bill Clinton is returning to OH to campaign for his wife as the 2016 presidential contest enters its final weeks.

Since it's become law, the Obama administration and the President himself have publicly signaled they're open to changing the ACA, but have cited Republicans in Congress as unwilling partners who want to repeal the legislation. "We, for the first time in our history, at least are providing insurance to more than 90% of our people".

"So Hillary believes we should simply let people who are above the line for getting these subsidies have access to affordable entry into the Medicare and Medicaid programs", Clinton said, according to the transcript. "Why? Because they're not organized, they don't have any bargaining power with insurance companies, and they're getting whacked".

The former president will follow up Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's Monday visit to the state with a bus tour Tuesday and Wednesday through eastern OH and the Mahoning Valley. "Oh boy. Hillary Clinton's only experience in cybersecurity involves a criminal scheme to violate federal law, engineering a massive coverup and putting the nation in harm's way", Trump said. And while he was slightly short-handed, it's clear to everyone, including President Obama, that improvements are needed.

The former White House volunteer aide would correct herself a couple of hours later, saying the reported interview will be next Sunday. That's something that Sec.

Meanwhile, Angel Urena, a spokeswoman for Bill Clinton, said that the former President has also praised the Affordable Care Act for "the good it has done" in expanding coverage.

But he insisted Obamacare remains a top accomplishment of the president's tenure. "I supported the Affordable Care Act", he said at a Steubenville rally, while adding that continued gaps in coverage "must be fixed".

At the White House, Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said it was not "exactly clear what argument" Bill Clinton was making in MI.
