US President Donald Trump made a regular weekly address to the country, calling the health insurance reform carried out by his predecessor, a “nightmare” causing heavy “damage to the lives of Americans”.

According to "Voice of America", He recalled that as early as next week, the US Senate may vote to repeal the Law on Affordable Health Insurance, known as Obamacare, replacing it with a project developed at the initiative of Republican legislators.

As the President stressed, if this vote does not take place, “the size of the disaster will only grow.”

Traditionally, Donald Trump illustrated his words with a story about the life of an “ordinary American family.”

“Carrie Kui and her husband are engaged in animal husbandry. “They have six children, the youngest is autistic,” the US president said. - After the adoption of the law on Obamacare family insurance premiums have risen sharply, and, ultimately, cost Kui three times more than their previous insurance. While they enjoyed Obamacarethey were denied health insurance four times. ”

The head of the White House stressed that by adopting the Law on Affordable Health Insurance, "Democratic politicians ... made many loud promises, but they turned out to be false."

"They promised that Obamacare will lower insurance payments for 2 500 dollars, he said. “Instead, payments have grown to sizes that no one can even believe — sometimes it is about several thousand dollars.”

Also, according to Donald Trump, "millions of Americans" have lost their insurance plans, and in the past two years at least half of the companies operating in the individual insurance market "have left the game and left the market."

He announced that a new project, developed by Republicans, will allow by the year 2020 "to reduce insurance premiums for 30 and more percent" and "create innovative health projects."

In addition, the plan, supported by the White House, should increase the size of savings medical bills and keep the assistance program Medicaid.

“These urgently needed long-term reforms will strengthen the insurance system for our poorest citizens,” said President Trump. - Cancellation and replacement plan Obamacare significantly reduce the debt of the federal budget ... I am pleased to announce that we are very, very close to eliminating this nightmare in the field of healthcare. "
