Donald Trump promised to repeal and replace Obamacare at a campaign rally Tuesday afternoon in Prescott Valley, Arizona. Trump cited comments from Bill Clinton about the failures of President Obama's health care reform.



"The people who are getting killed in this deal are the small businesspeople and individuals who make just a little too much to get in on these subsidies," former President Clinton said about Obamacare at a campaign event yesterday. "You've got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have healthcare, and they... wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half."



"The architect of Obamacare, you remember this from two years ago? Jonathan Gruber admitted in front of a group of his so-called friends (and fortunately one of his friends wasn't so friendly) admitted that the wholesales pitch on Obamacare was a lie. He called it the stupidity of the American voter. Do you remember that? But the only stupidity was the stupidity of our leaders who passed this disaster into law, over the objection of the American people," Trump said. "Without the lies it would have never passed."



"[Obama] promised his plan would reduce premiums by $2,500. Remember? Instead, they went up by over $5,000. And people can't afford it."



"Now, did you hear yesterday?" Trump asked. "Of all people, maybe he's not a very good surrogate. I don't think so. President Bill Clinton came out and told the truth about Obamacare! He's absolutely trashed President Obama's signature legislation. Remember Hillary Clinton called Obamacare 'one of the greatest accomplishments of President Obama, of the Democratic Party, and of our country.' Give me a break."



"You see what's happening with your premiums, they're through the roof -- going up 60-80%," Trump continued. "But Bill Clinton has a much different view -- this was yesterday. Here's what Bill said. He said it was a 'crazy system' where people end up with premiums doubled and coverage cut in half. He's right! He said it is the craziest thing in the world... Bill Clinton said: 'People out there are busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, and wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. The people getting killed in this deal are the small businesspeople, and the individuals who make just a bit too much money to qualify for the subsidies.' He said their making just a bit too much. He's right."



"Clinton added that it doesn't make sense and the insurance model doesn't work," Trump said. "Now I've been saying that for a long time. At least he's honest, but he's very late."



"In the meantime, [Hillary] wants to double down on Obamacare. I'll bet he went through hell last night. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Can you imagine what he went through after making that statement? He went through hell, but honestly there have been many nights when he has gone through hell with Hillary," Trump added.
