Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton applied a surprising frankness to a conversation revolving around Obamacare, a video released to the Weekly Standard shows.

In it she talks of the 'crushing cost' of healthcare under the legislation, which was approved by the Democratic President Obama in 2010.

Clinton suggested that her mother Hillary Clinton, if elected president, would use executive action to improve the problem.

Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton had a frank talk with voters about Obamacare, which was caught on video, in which she referred to the 'crushing costs' of the current president's signature legislation

The former first daughter Chelsea Clinton turned attack dog on the issue of Obamacare earlier this year, suggesting Bernie Sanders' Medicare-for-all plan would 'dismantle' the current program

In the brief video, which was uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday, the young Clinton is heard saying the government could 'cap out of pocket expenses.'

'This was part of my mom's original plan back in '93 and '94, as well as premium costs,' she continued. 'We can either do that directly or through tax credits.'

'And, kind of figuring out whether she could do that through executive action, or she would need to do that through tax credits working with Congress,' Chelsea Clinton said.

'She thinks either of those will help solve the challenges of kind of the crushing costs that sill exist for too many people, who even are part of the Affordable Care Act and buying insurance,' Clinton said before the video tapers off.

Interestingly, it was the issue of Obamacare that turned Chelsea Clinton into attack dog for her mother, instead of a family member surrogate.

During Chelsea Clinton's first solo swing through New Hampshire in January, she warned a crowd gathered in Manchester that Sanders planned to 'dismantle' Obamacare.

Sanders had been pitching to his own supporters a Medicare-for-all program through the government as opposed to the private health insurance network of exchanges that Americans currently use.

Hillary Clinton has labeled a plan like Sanders' unrealistic and instead suggested that she would make improvements on Obamacare's back.

'If it's Medicare-for-all, then you no longer have the Affordable Care Act,' Hillary Clinton said at a debate last month.

'We both share the goal of universal healthcare,' Clinton said of she and her rival Sanders.

But she wanted to 'build on the healthcare system we have,' Clinton said.

'I far prefer that than trying to start all over again,' she concluded.

Clinton, like her daughter, has had to publicly acknowledge some of the shortcomings of the law.

For example, earlier this month she encountered a woman at CNN's Ohio town hall.

The woman told the candidate that her health care costs had jumped from $490 to $1,090, the Weekly Standard reported.

Clinton could only recommend that the voter do some comparison shopping.

'One thing that I would like you to do—and I'm not saying it's going to making a difference, but I would like for you to go shopping on that exchange,' Clinton said.
