well, @real donaldtrump. at least i will go down as a president. [ cheers and applause ] and former president bill clinton kicking off a bus tour in north carolina as he defends obamacare. hillary says, fix the problem, don t repeal the solution. that s a terrible idea. more than 20 million people would lose their health insurance. his plea coming as the government says premiums for those purchasing insurance on state exchanges will increase an average of 22% next year. now, clinton s comments earlier this month seem prophetic. you have this raicrazy syste where all of a sudden 20 million more people have health care and people out there busting it 60 hours a week wind up with their premiums double and coverage cut in half. craziest thing in the world. that statement put him in the dog house with democrats and put his wife on defense with donald trump. if he repeals it our medicare problem gets worse. your husband disagrees with
happen, this is part of the evolution, we set the premiums low to get draw people in, growing pains, it s not perfect. do you buy that? well, i think you should let bill keep talking, i m happy to give him my time. all right, i will. bill, you re an honest man and what bernie sanders he is an honest man. what bernie sanders said and it s one of the reasons why bernie sanders has cross appeal even with some folks that don t like the government so much is obamacare was never going to work. these state exchanges were always really fraudulent. what a lot of liberals wanted was a one federal controlled administered insurance program for americans which is what many people like bernie sanders would like and you have people on the right who have said the way obama went about obamacare, you were going to get the worst of all worlds. you were going to get skyrocketing insurance premiums, which obviously americans are hurting and it is sensitive to the fact that their premiums are
well call it scotus care because the clear language in the law talked about state exchanges. so what does that mean for the american people when you have nine unelected lifetime appointees that can impact america in this such a profound way? it is dangerous to our constitution. they are making it up. these are political decisions. this is lawless. it s unconstitutional. what is the recourse? there are a couple of consequences. obamacare, that makes 2016 a referendum on repealing obamacare. if a 2016 presidential candidate isn t prepared to fight every day to repeal every word of obamacare, to lead the fight and campaign on it he or she should get out of the way. every republican like you promised to repeal and replace obamacare. now, they voted symbolically 50 times. congress has constitutionally the power of the purse. you were the only one willing to use it and you were excoriated
wouldn t that make the supreme court justices more prone to serving public opinion, not doing what they think is right or what the law dictates? more beholden to campaign contributors? if they were doing their job, if they were honoring their judicial oaths it wouldn t be necessary, unfortunately, the justices have injected themselves into politics. we have two decisions last week. both of which were naked acts of judicial activism. on thursday the majority of the justices ignored federal law and rewrote obama care they ignored the text of the law and joins with president obama in forcing this failed law on millions of americans who lost their jobs, their health care, their doctors, placing skyrocketing premiums. what you re talking about is the fact that what they did not do is take away subsidies for 6.4 million americans who had subsidies from the federal government, but they didn t get it through state exchanges. i don t know that you could
rewrote obamacare in order to force that law on millions of americans. use john roberts famous analogy they stopped calling balls and strike and they put on a jersey and joined a team forcing that failed law on americans. on friday the marriage decision was directly contrary to the constitution. it was as justice scalia observed five unelected judging saying their liberal policy views trump the considered judgment of 320 million americans. it was judicial activism. how many times have you argued in front of the supreme court? nine times. i m looking at these cases. in the 2012 case the obama administration was not even arguing that the mandate was a tax. and the supreme court made it uphold. in this particular take, they talk about state exchanges. justice scalia says we might as
