President Mocks GOP For Not Having 'Even A Hint Of Plan' On How To Replace Health Law

鈥淵ou can't just be against something. You've got to be for something," President Obama says in a speech criticizing Republicans for wanting to repeal the health law without offering a way to replace it.

President Obama聽on Thursday聽mocked Republicans, saying they do not even have 鈥渁 hint鈥 of a plan to replace ObamaCare, despite vowing to repeal it.聽鈥淭hey don鈥檛 even have a pretense of a plan,鈥 Obama said at a campaign rally for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in Miami, Fla. 鈥淭hey don鈥檛 even have a semblance of a plan. There鈥檚 not even a hint of a plan.鈥 Obama touted that the law has expanded coverage to 20 million people who did not have it before. (Sullivan, 11/3)

President Obama on Thursday slammed Republicans for advocating for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and for doing so without an alternative health plan. 鈥淭hey want to repeal because, ideologically, they鈥檙e opposed to the idea of helping these 20 million people get health insurance,鈥 Obama said in Miami at a Hillary Clinton campaign event. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not like 鈥 they don鈥檛 even have a pretense of a plan. They don鈥檛 even have a semblance of a plan. There鈥檚 not even a hint of a plan.鈥 Obama has been defending the Affordable Care Act, his signature domestic policy achievement, in recent weeks, touting the number of people who have gained health insurance coverage under the law. (McIntire, 11/3)

President Barack Obama today mocked Donald Trump鈥檚 call to repeal Obamacare, dismissing the Republican nominee鈥檚 stance on the president鈥檚 signature health care law as stubborn obstruction and claiming Trump has 鈥渘ot even a hint of a plan鈥 of what to do afterward. Campaigning for Hillary Clinton in Miami, Obama lit into Republicans, accusing them of fostering needless gridlock in Washington, as he did Wednesday in North Carolina. Today, he went on a riff about Obamacare, hitting congressional Republicans for repeatedly voting to repeal the 2010 law and then poked at Trump, who at a recent press conference called for a special session of Congress to 鈥渞epeal and replace鈥 it amid premium increases. (Conway, 11/3)
