New Delhi [India]: U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence on Friday said that the Trump administration will repeal Obamacare once and for all
Speaking in Wisconsin, he said, “We will repeal Obamacare once and for all-eliminating its mandates, taxes, and intrusion into businesses and lives. We will replace Obamacare with a better law that lowers the cost of health insurance without growing the size of government.”
He asserted that President Donald Trump from day one has been working has been “undoing the job-destroying policies and executive orders of the last eight years.”
Pence said that businesses are reacting to Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” vision with optimism and investment in our country.
He said that Obamacare is a job killer and is weighing down job creators and hurting small business owners.
“Endless price hikes and red tape eat up time and money better spent growing businesses and benefitting workers. This administration will get our economy moving by passing the biggest tax reform since Ronald Reagan and cutting taxes across the board,” he tweeted.
Earlier this week, addressing his first joint session of Congress, Trump has urged them to replace and repeal Obamacare with reforms to expand choice, increase access, lower cost and, at the same time, provide better health care.
Trump asserted that mandating every American to pay government-approved health insurance was never the right solution for America.
Trump on his first day in the Oval Office had signed an executive order declaring that the official policy of his administration will be “to seek the prompt repeal” of Obamacare.
The executive order directed the secretary of health and human services and the heads of other agencies to use their discretion to help individuals, health care providers, insurers and others avoid any burdens stemming from the Affordable Care Act, which remains in effect. (ANI)
