Nancy Pelosi hits Trump on health care: His 'cruel hypocrisy knows no bounds'
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) hammered President Trump on Friday for his efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act after he announced a new push to expand health care choice and drive down costs.
“The President’s cruel hypocrisy knows no bounds. While he claims to want affordable coverage, his Justice Department is busy arguing that courts should destroy protections for people with pre-existing conditions and strike down every other protection and guarantee of affordable health care for America’s families,” Pelosi said in a statement.
“From Day One, the Trump Administration has sabotaged hard-working families’ health care, working to push families into shoddy junk plans, spike their health costs and take away their health care protections – all while pretending to care about people with pre-existing conditions,” she continued.
Pelosi vowed that the Democratic majority in the House would double down on efforts to broaden the Obama-era Affordable Care Act.
The comments come after a White House event on Friday afternoon at which the president promoted new rules passed this week that he said would “expand options and drive down the cost of health care.”
