HHS Head Tom Price Promises That Trumpcare Will Give Everyone “Access” To Insurance Coverage [VIDEO]

Just like we’ve all got “access” to winning the lottery? CNN reports:



The man tasked with shepherding the Republican plan to replace Obamacare defended President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to cover every American, saying Sunday that the multi-layered GOP proposal would give everyone access to the care they want.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that evaluations of the party’s plan focused only on the American Health Care Act, the legislation backed by Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan that is coming up for a House vote on Thursday.

The analysis of the plan’s impact also needs to take into account such things as reducing regulatory constraints and excessive litigation that contributes to higher health care costs, Price told anchor Jake Tapper.

“The plan in its entirety is the one that the President has ensured the American people every single American will have access to affordable coverage that works for them,” Price said. On the campaign trail, Trump said the government would pay for health care for those who need it, and before his inauguration he promised “insurance for everybody.”
