During his daily briefing with reporters, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, “I think the idea that we have to remember is that the American people got sold the Affordable Care Act. It’s neither affordable nor accessible. They’re losing their coverage and premiums are spiking, and so if people are truly worried about losing their coverage, they should be applauding the President’s action for wanting to make sure that we put a system in place that does what they were promised a while back, and that’s what I think has been missing from this dialogue.”

Spicer also claimed that there is a blurring of the facts and that some of the people protesting weren’t “on Obamacare.” They are on Medicare, Medicaid, or employer-based health coverage.

Press Secretary Spicer was the person who was blurring the facts. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) isn’t an insurance plan that people are on. The Affordable Care Act is health care legislation that impacts are areas of the health insurance system. If you are on employer-based insurance many of the benefits, and the increase in coverage came from the ACA. Medicare and Medicaid are both impacted by Obamacare.

Spicer thinks the American people should be praising Trump for taking away health care from millions. During his Super Bowl interview, Trump admitted that he might not have an Obamacare replacement plan for a year or two, so the “system” that Trump will be putting into place after the ACA is repealed is to throw people off of their health insurance.

There is no Republican replacement plan, and the potential plans being floated would all cause people to lose their health insurance, or spend more money for less coverage. Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan admitted that his plan is to lower health care costs by giving sick people less insurance.

President Trump and the Republican Party are going to either take away your health care or make it more expensive and cover less, and the White House is expecting you to applaud Donald Trump for causing a new health care crisis in the United States of America.
