BREAKING: Rep. McGovern obliterates Trump on the floor of Congress for never producing a plan to fix the healthcare crisis after promising one over and over and over and over again for nearly TEN YEARS!
Republicans have been working on their supposed “replacement for Obamacare” for literally over ten years now, and have never produced anything to show for it beyond “uhhhh…savings account, or something?”
As the nation barrels towards a deadline to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies or watch tens of millions of people lose their healthcare as premiums skyrocket, Republicans are still nowhere near any kind of alternative, replacement, or anything resembling a solution to the completely avoidable and self-inflicted crisis facing the American public.
Rep. McGovern publicly called out Trump in a fiery speech from the floor of Congress.
“But the truth is they’ve always said they have a plan, but they’ve never had a plan. Let me just go through a list of things here.”
“In February of 2016, then presidential candidate Donald Trump said, ‘we’re going to replace Obamacare with something so much better.’ Nothing followed.”
“On February 27th of 2017, the president said, ‘we have a really terrific, I believe, health care plan coming out.’ Never did.”
“May 10th, 2018, Donald Trump said, ‘but wait till you see the plans that we have coming out literally over the next four weeks. We have a great health care plan coming out.’ Nothing happened.”
“At a press gaggle near Air Force One in May of 2019, he said, ‘we’re coming up with a great health care plan. We’re going to have a fantastic health care plan that’s coming out in the next four weeks.’ Nothing ever materialized.”
June 16, 2019, the president said, ‘we’re going to produce a phenomenal health care plan. And we already have the concept of a plan. And it will be so much better health care.’ Yeah, well, we’ll be announcing it in about two months, maybe less. Nothing happened.”
“Fox News interview, the president said, ‘we’re signing in a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan.’ Nothing happened.”
“July 2020, the president said, ‘well, we’re going to be doing a health care plan. We’re going to be doing a very inclusive health care plan. I’ll be signing it sometime very soon. It might be Sunday, but very, very soon.’ Nothing happened.”
“August 3rd, 2020, the president says ‘we’re going to be introducing a tremendous health care plan sometime prior, hopefully prior to the end of the month. It’s just about completed.’ Nothing.”
“September 15th, 2020, the president says ‘you’re going to have a new health care. We have a whole bunch of alternatives to Obamacare that are 50% less expensive and are actually better.’ Nothing ever happened.”
“September 10th, 2024, ABC News presidential debate. He says, ‘I have concepts of a plan. You’ll be hearing about it in the not too distant future.’ Nothing happened.”
“December 8th, 2024, he said ‘you know, we have concepts of a plan that will be much better. You’ll see it very soon.’ Produced nothing.”
“In May of 2025, at a White House event, he says, ‘so we’re going to be maybe coming up with something. I think this gives the Republicans a chance to actually do a healthcare that’s much better than Obamacare.’ Nothing.”
“People are sick and tired of the empty rhetoric. They’re sick and tired of you saying you have a plan and you never produce one. All you want to do is undermine healthcare for hardworking average Americans.”
We know all Trump does is lie, lie, lie, but it’s still shocking to see the shamelessness and the endlessness of his lies laid out in front of you like this. He’ll always have healthcare; he couldn’t care less if anyone else does.
