AP Photo Clinton: Health care costs would 'skyrocket' under Trump

Hillary Clinton on Tuesday conceded that many Americans are seeing their premiums go up under Obamacare. But the Democratic nominee cautioned against scrapping the Affordable Care Act, and said health care costs would "skyrocket" under a President Trump.

"We are going to make changes to fix problems like that, the president and I have talked about it," Clinton said during an interview on Miami's Hot 105 radio station. "Look this is a major step forward, 20 million people, actually I'm sure you know this, predominately working people, African-American, Latino people now have access to insurance, but the costs have gone up to too much."


Clinton vowed that her administration would get co-pays and premiums down, but that Donald Trump's plan to repeal the health-care law would only make things worse.

"If you think costs have gone up with the recent weeks, it will just skyrocket as the insurance companies will be in charge again," she said.
