Former President Obama and President Joe Biden teamed up to tout Obama Care after former President Trump threatened to repeal it.
In a 30-second video, the two Democrats promoted the Affordable Care Act on Friday— the final day of open enrollment, saying that ObamaCare is “still a thing.”

Trump campaigned on repealing ObamaCare during his first term, but the effort stalled in Congress. However, the 45th president renewed his efforts last month, vowing to terminate it if elected to the White House again.
“We had a couple of Republican Senators who campaigned for six years against it and then raised their hands not to terminate it. It was a low point for the Republican Party, but we should never give up!” he wrote on Truth Social.
Trump doubled down on his remarks, saying that ObamaCare “sucks,” and most of social media agrees.
This cringey puppet show is getting old.

My health care plan cost has tripled since Obama Care started.

This looks like it could be an ad for the next dementia drug on the market

It's so great that lies had to be told to get it passed. It's so great some people lost coverage in their state or their premiums went up.

It is so great Jo. So great...
One of the biggest scams in the history of the USA. Healthcare in this country is a scam.

According to a KFF Health Tracking poll, 77 percent of Republicans say they want the Affordable Care Act to be overturned. At the same time, nearly every Republican budget or fiscal plan over the last decade has included repeal of ObamaCare and deep cuts to Medicaid.
