Donald Trump Blast Harris Health Plan

During a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, focusing on several policy positions she has previously endorsed.

Trump pointed out Harris’ statements about her intention to abolish private health insurance and provide healthcare to undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

“Kamala Harris wants to eliminate private health insurance and give free tax-payer funded healthcare to every single illegal alien in this country,” he said. “And then you wonder, why do they come up? You know why they come up? Because guys like [California Governor Gavin] Newsom and others are saying, ‘Come up. Come to our country will give you health care.’”

Trump emphasized that the influx of undocumented immigrants during the Biden-Harris administration has strained resources intended for U.S. citizens. He pointed out that, in some cases, American children have been displaced from their schools to accommodate these immigrants.

“People are taking the seats of your children, your children can’t go to school, and you have people taking their seats that don’t speak a word of English, come from a foreign country, and your kids aren’t getting educated,” he said. “Your kids are not getting educated. They’re considered like secondary citizens. And this is Kamala and Joe to a lesser extent. Look, Joe’s lost … forget him.”

Trump stated that he would maintain the Affordable Care Act unless Republicans can propose a “better” system to replace it.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Kamala Harris wants to eliminate private health insurance and give free tax-payer funded healthcare to every single illegal alien in this country. By contrast, I am going to keep the Affordable Care Act unless we can do something much better, and by better, I’m… pic.twitter.com/1NyYQ0mu16

“We’ll keep it, but we can do much better. It’s too expensive for the people,” he said. “They can’t afford it. It’s lousy health care. If we can do something better, we’re working on it, if we can do something better, but we will never let anybody touch it unless we have something better. We’re going to deliver lower prices, lower drug costs, and new options that will dramatically reduce the crushing burden on all American patients and Kamala and crooked Joe, they try and take credit for $35 insulin, but I was the one that did the $35 insulin, not them.”

Kamala Harris says "it's a mistake" to ask how she plans to pay for the few economic proposals she has outlined in her campaign.
