Bill Clinton Calls Obamacare a “Crazy System”
Posted On 04 Oct 2016
Hillary Clinton has been doing everything possible to present herself as Barack Obama II, but her husband apparently didn’t get the message. At a campaign event in Flint, Michigan this week, former President Bill Clinton took aim at Obama’s signature healthcare legislation.
“It doesn’t make any sense,” Clinton said of Obamacare. “The insurance model doesn’t work here.”
Clinton said that while Obamacare was great for people with “modest” incomes, “the people that are getting killed in this deal are small business people and individuals who make just a little too much to get any of these subsidies.”
“You’ve got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care and then the people are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half,” said Clinton. “It’s the craziest thing in the world.”
Indeed. Welcome to reality, Mr. President! Glad you could stop by.
Unfortunately, while Clinton’s remarks give Hillary some minor bad press, don’t think for a second that he or his wife are moving to the right on the issue of healthcare. At one point in his speech, the former president said that “the change we need” to reform Obamacare was a “public option.” In other words, he wants to fix this federal disaster by putting the federal government in charge of creating an insurance company.
And when that (inevitably) fails, what’s next?
If you said “universal public healthcare,” you get a gold sticker.
You can see, judging by the White House’s response to Bill’s remarks, that Obama is just fine with what he said.
“Since the very first day the President signed this bill into law, he acknowledged an openness to working with Democrats or Republicans in Congress to further strengthen it,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday. “And we have seen a sustained commitment on the part of Republicans to trying to tear down that law.”
The fatal flaws of Obamacare are now impossible to ignore, even if you happen to be the public face of the legislation. Democrats understand that another couple of years of rising premiums will finish the Affordable Care Act off for good, and they’re already trying to get Republicans to shoulder the blame.
80% of Congress belongs in prison for allowing this ‘Obamination’ to have
ever even been considered, let alone passed into law.
Obama is the most dangerous Muslim Terrorist America has ever faced,
Obama Care is Obama’s signature middle finger to the US Constitution and
all that believe in it and the Freedom it was intended to protect.
it was obamas 1st of many strikes to destroy and i quote him now “to fundamentally change this country”.Change it to what…. COMMUNISM !!!!!.
Everything Americans hate!
Vote Hillary for More of the Same…
Pelosi at the top of that list, sharing a cell with a transgender child molesting pervert.
Fortunately his time is just about up; unfortunately, he has a replacement in line that will do the “inside work” he has not yet accomplished in his agenda to turn this country over to those who have other ideas for it. He, and Hillary, share some horrible concepts of what America should be. She became his “front man” (or woman) in coordinating with foreign leaders to take advantage of what America could and would do for them if they would “go along” with the Obama/Clinton agenda. Instead of doing her job to ensure as much peace throughout the world as could be done, she was ignoring our nations best interest and negotiating with other world leaders in a conspiracy to strengthen the Obama/Clinton agenda; in doing so she fed the growth of ISIS and other terrorist groups!
I fear, we will be to late to stop this Obama/Clinton agenda and we will very soon see Hillary and her foreign supporters calming new parts of America as we are further subjected to the Obama/Clinton agendas.
WE MUST STOP HILLARY CLINTON! We can not do it by just conversing on this, and similar, exchanges – we must all get out and push to see she is not elected; anyone but Hillary, Trump or one of the other new candidates – just stop Hillary before she does more damage to this country!
TPP is another pet of theirs, that Hillary is trying to back pedal
on, but we know she’ll do what Obama did of Obama care:
He’s against madates etc, yet she will rubber stamp anything just
like Obama, that erodes freedom , and sells out our sovereignty
to the NWO, UN NATO……Obama hates America ‘One Nation
Under God , for Which it Stands’ .
HRC is an Obama clone she still thinks that Obama Care is a good thing with all points showing that the program is failing, overpriced under thought. Pelosis famous lets pass it first than we will read it should tell you a lot about democrat politics. Remember folks not one Republican voted for the Obama Care bill. Hillary has proven to be such a liar. Now with the onset of the new emails, it has been exposed in 2013 she didn’t think that we could tell the good immigrants from the bad ones using her method of vetting the same one she talked about Sunday night. The people in her own party are embarrassed that she is an uncontrollable liar. LOOK your choice is simple you want a politician that is a liar, thief and unethical as your president, or do you want someone who will appoint justices worthy of making law in this country, and even though he might not be politically correct he will not support the TTP, will slow the boarder crossings down, will rebuild the military, bring jobs back to our country, and allow us to gain respect in the world again, that’s what I am looking for. He will not take God out of our Country, he will respect the constitution he will Stop Terror.
Quite from article, “Pelosi’s famous lets pass it first than we will read it should tell you a lot about democrat politics.”
Recall the Comprehensive Immigration Bill the Democrats passed and sent to the Republican lower house where it died? Obama repeatedly said just sign and and send it to me; he and Pelosi were on the same sheet; and that is what Hillary also did when she voted to go to war!
The Bill died in the lower house because it had as much (maybe more) bad in it as it did good. The bill was never intended to pass anyway. The Democrats knew it would never get past the lower house so they felt comfortable signing yes accepting the idea that when the Republicans would not approve it they (Democrats) would win over a lot of Hispanic voters. The Republicans tried making several changes to the bill but the Democrats would not accept them so it just died off. Obama would have been in a real tough spot had the Republicans just signed the bill and sent it to him; he would have needed to veto it or sign it into law with all the bad stiff (much of which he was pushing for anyway!
Hillary and her YES vote to go t war= Even though, as a Senator ,she had a duty and an obligation to read the bills and understand them before voting YES or NO, she never read the bill or the supporting documentations but signed YES not knowing what the bill said, what the ramifications of going to war or the expected or potential outcomes of going to war would be She later said she signed YES because a friend told her she should vote yes!
If other Senators were doing as she was doing and not reading the bills before signing them it is easy to see why we have no many problems coming out of the Obama Administration. It is easy too see why she makes such poor decisions; she lets others tell her what to think and what to do!
You are correct. Congress knew full well exactly what Harry Reid pulled, which was totally illegal. When even a single word of a bill is changed the bill is supposed to be sent back to the other chamber for “reconciliation”. That was not done and the House did not demand that it be done. The House knew what Reid did and they are responsible for letting it go unchallenged. Check it out. You will find that the original bill approved by the House that was only to make it easier for veterans to get certain benefits has the same number as the bill that became the A.C.A. Reid changed the entire text of the bill in the senate and then jammed it through a vote without it being “reconciled”.
Doesn’t it make your skin crawl , these corrupt bstrds.
I think Judge Andrew Napolitano says it best when he
says a Congressman’s job is to stay in office and profit,
of course that’s what Congress thinks.
They should be drug tested and forced to follow the
Constitution.
I’m against drug laws and testing ,but if anyone’s job is
important to the lives of Americans it is Congress, much
more important than drug testing someone that flips
burgers or works in an office.
I think it is more like 95% and they need to have 2 suffer under it as we do! ITA on obola the muslim terrorist
very true and obama knew it would not work just another continuation for criminal Hillary to totally destroy our American citizens from medical, we do not need Hillary Clinton and her crimes and covered up serious medical issues
Best government money can buy
It was fun watching the Clinton campaign try to spin this into something that he didn’t say.
OMG a Clinton finally told the truth. Record that date and time as history. Barack and Michelle won’t be on the trail the next 4 weeks. Way to go Bill you are our best allie. Bet HRC is taking a crap on your head right now. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
A Clinton telling the truth Barry should the date a National Holiday.
Thanks, Bubba. Some of us said that before it was illegally presented and “passed”.
WE knew it was designed to fail at huge cost to the taxpayer AND the economy.
I remember that. Many stated it was set up to fail those same people say NEVER HILLARY we are correct on both accounts.
The title of this article sounds really questionable as well as stupid. ObamaCare IS THE RESURRECTED HEALTH CARE PLAN HILLARY WAS WORKING ON WHEN BILL GAVE HER THE TASK. Of course it was rejected but it was the very same single payer program ObamaCare is supposed to devolve into. Thirteen thousand pages of health care plan was not newly written by the democrats. Harry Reid simply resurrected Hillary’s original stuff and replaced the text of a previously approved bill with Hillary’s document.
In reality, universal health ace for everyone (similar to allegedly what Obama care turned out to be) was presented in various forms at least half a dozen times (or more) over a long time before the Clintons took office and certainly before Obama turned America upside down. Every time it was presented, by democrats or republicans, it was rejected. rejection was probably made due to a lot of the problems we see with Obamacare today and the mess we have ended up with. Obama care should have been enough to kill it to start with.
I think, Obama and the Democrats, with their intent of allowing illegal immigrants to overrun our country so the wealthy and corporate managers would be able to employee cheap labor! The Ameriacn workers who were forced to pay for Obamacare would pay for insurance for the illegal immigrants. They (illegals) can afford to work for less when the Tax Payers subsidize a great part of their living expenses here!
The Clinton’s & Pres. Obama are just playing “the long game” with Obamacare! They all knew that they couldn’t get the American public to immediately accept National Health Care, so they set about to create a system that they knew would fail! Now, with premiums & deductibles rising, they feel that the public has no choice, but to accept National Health Care!
What the U.S. public needs, I feel, is to force the heads of health care & drug company’s to answer, under oath, what their services & drugs actually cost them & how much of a profit, they are making on them! If they knew that they could face significant jail time, if they lied, I’m sure that these services would ‘magically’ decline!
Stop with the cheering already! Clinton doesn’t like Obamacare because he prefers a “single payer” program. Which is Democrat speak for a total government run socializes health care system. Which is Obamacare taken to it’s final, and most destructive conclusion. So, in the end, they both want the same thing….a communist America.
Obamacare was & is a failure, it cost to much money to run it. It should not be mandatory. Obamacare is costing individual policy holders lots of debt & will only get worse. We were set up by the Obama administration. The people of our Country should have the right to sue this Administration for the back money we had to put out by their Communist insurance & the fraud of this Administration. Pelosi & Reid included.
Yes Obama is pushing for his replacement Hillary Rodman Clinton to continue his agenda to keep screwing America. And about 1/2 of our population is falling for these frauds. WE CANNOT LET HILLARY GET THE PRESIDENCY. Hillary & Bill have involved themselves with the Communist countries, Bill & Hillary believe in Communism, they would like nothing better then, Rule the U.S. They need to be stopped.
This Obamacare was Hillary’s baby from back to when Bill was in office, there is no way she will give it up for something else. Things can only get worse people, Wake Up! Bill went on display & finally broke down an admitted, Obamacare/Hillarycare was Crazy.
Just like this week Hillary denied saying someone should drone Julian Assange of Wikileaks. A lot of us heard her say it, but the Democratic Slimy Media took all talk of it off the internet. But Hillary we remember you saying it.
I agree w/ riverstart, DAlnB41, Frank629 below.
HILLARY ASKING FOR DRONE ATTACK ON JULIAN ASSANGE.

We have always accepted the fact that we pay into insurance with the hopes we will never use it. From the time I was 18 I have been paying into health insurance, mostly with some employer shared but a lot on my own. I seldom ever used it until I turned 66 then it seems ever time I turn around something was falling apart.
What it ended up costing for my insurance made retiring worth while. My employers program did not kick in until we had paid the first $1,800.00 in claims; $$2,200.00 with the wife on the policy and we had to pay $392.00 a month plus a co-pay and when we finally hit the $2,200. they were only paying 65% to %80 of the costs; no dental and no vision. The first 2 1/2 years I had no claims at all; before Obama care I probably had not been to a doctor for other than annual checkups more than a dozen times I my entire life.
I still have no ill feelings about paying a little more to help those who have no jobs and need the help; but I do nlt like having to pay for people wo have no legal right to be here. I took care of myself, wife and my four kids; I did my part in helping those who needed help as they had no options – those illegally here can go back where they came from and stop living off me and the rest of us.
When they leave Americans can get back t work and they will then be able to insure themselves; looks like though, until we get rid of Obama care we will be paying for ourselves, millions of Americans who can not get work and millions of illegal immigrants who do not Belone here but are here and taking our jobs BUT, because of the low wages they are accepting, they do not pay into Obamacare but are getting free emergency room care!
Probably the only truth to come out of a Clinton mouth in history!
110%
Obamacare was never designed to provide Healthcare to anyone. The Sole purpose of Obamacare was to ENSLAVE the PEOPLE and to Provide for Redistribution of WEALTH. It was the second step to Conquering the people and bringing into Operation of COMMUNISM IN AMERICA. That is why Obama Kept saying that OBAMACARE WAS A SUCCESS. The First Step to IMPLEMENTING COMMUNISM IN AMERICA was the STIMULUS Which provided for COMMON CORE AND COMMUNIST INDOCTRINATION IN ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS. That is why Obamacare kept saying that the STIMULUS WAS A SUCCESS. The Stimulus did not create any jobs and it was never intended to create any job. It was the government takeover of the Public Schools and Industry. The Stimulus as a success because it did that. That was it’s intended goal. Obamacare was intended to Corral the People into Communism and Destroy the wealth of America and it has done that. For Obama, Obamacare is a success. It has achieved it’s goal. America is Lost.
Granted, there may be a few who Think they benefit from having a policy through the ACA, but it doesn’t make up for the Millions More who LOST the coverage that they Liked…Remember, “If you Like your Doctor, You can Keep your Doctor”??? I’d venture to say, 3 times more people Lost coverage than Gained coverage…
Obama has a $2.2 Billion Dollar “Marketing Budget” he can use to market his agenda and “sell” his programs through whatever avenue he can get traction with; most often the televised media; mainly, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC and FOX. We have seen Obama campaigning for Hillary while he is allegedly addressing some other point of interest; he was there at the expense of the American Tax Payer, traveled there at our expense and spent his time their speaking at our expense; I have doubt congress ever approved any tax payers money to be spent campaigning for any candidate; especially by the President; my guess is the courts would frown on Obama using tax payers money for Obama to be out campaigning for Hillary or any other candidate – but what the laws says is of no interest to Obama – – Or Hillary!
Obama, just like Hillary, is immune from our laws!
News Flash A Clinton told the truth, why aren’t the major networks covering this story? Willie kind of put them in the corner on this one
Most of the networks are recipients of significant portions of Obama’s $2.2 billion dollar marketing budget. That budget is used to influence the Obama Administrations agenda; in most cases, to sell to the public what Obama wants the Ameriacn people to believe.
It can only be expected that Obama will be saying great things about Hillary Clinton as he was the one who appointed her, she reported directly to him, her failures are on his watch, when she left her job following the Benghazi incident Obama claimed she was the best Secretary of State the United Nations ever had. Obama said he has never discussed the investigations into Hillary’s illegal server and classified emails with the Attroney General, the FBI or the State Department BUT he repeatedly said “She Has Done Nothing Wrong and She Will Not Be Prosecuted.
Sure makes one wonder WHY, a key person on his staff has been accused of serious crimes but he (Obama) takes no time to get the facts from those responsible for digging up the truth; what kind of management is that?
Why, without knowing what the FBI was digging up would Obama think Hillary would not be prosecuted? Is there any one who has kept pace with the FBIs investigation and the results reported who can accept Hillary’s repeated comments that the FBI said she “never lied?” Not only has she lied but so to has Obama.
Obama a is a master at speaking but so much of the time her reminds me of the story that says an after dinner speech is often like a love letter; ” Ideally, you should start by not knowing what you are going to say, and by the end, not know what you said!” I assume he never knows what he did say as his speech writers write his speeches, he stands behind his prompters and says what his writers have prepared for him, and after he walks away from the prompter he never follows up on anything he said. He is so much like Hillary who says something but she has lied so many times the next time she says anything about it she can not recall her first lie so lies again.
What else could he say; her failures rest on him just as much as her! He had as much responsibility for ensuring she was accepting her duty, responsibility and obligations as Hillary had in managing and supervising the employees of the State Department and ensuring they had safe and secure workplaces; she failed, men died, Obama igored it (but he did accept her resignation following Benghazi). Obama has no alternative now but to brag about her after his lies about Hillary.
YOU ARE CORRECT, EVERYONE ON HIS STAFF HAS BEEN IN SOME SORT OF SCANDAL
Hillary is not only a “world Class Liar” she is just as big a hypocrite! She degrades Trump for his words and actions but then stand By Bill Clinton for even worse actions and his denials before he finally admitted to sex In the White House!
! She degrades Trump for handling his taxes the way he did, which turns out to be totally legal, but she plays footsy with Wall Street saying one thing to them and totally different to the American people! Bernie Sanders knew it and he pushed her for a copy of her speech, Sanders followers knew it and expected to see the speech when Hillary said she would give Bernie a copy; Sanders and his followers were disappointed then when Hillary said she would not release a copy of it; Bernie wanted to see it, Bernie’s followers wanted to see it, I think by that time all of America wanted to know what it was Hillary was hiding. There must have been something terribly
bad In the speech to get the kind of money she got for the speech and the great effort she has gone to in protecting it from anyone seeing it. She complains that Trump will not release his taxes but she will not release a copy if her speech- she is a hypocrite.
Hillary is a world class liar and a major Hypocrite! Lies, cheating, and more lies – AND Obama’s wife says we need an Honest President – she could not have been suggesting Hillary– the world knows Hillary is everything but honest!
