LANSING — On this day in 2017, President Trump accidentally told the truth about his toxic health care agenda — calling his own health care bill “mean.” He later confirmed the comments during an interview on “Fox and Friends.”
Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lavora Barnes: “The toxic Republican health care agenda that Donald Trump supports and that John James refuses to denounce is predicated on cuts to Medicare and Medicaid and stripping away protections for preexisting conditions while doing nothing to expand access to affordable health care for Michigan families. Two years ago, President Trump accidentally stumbled into admitting the truth when he declared that his own health care bill was “mean,” after promising Michiganders he’d improve the health care system, cut costs, and expand access. He broke that promise and they will hold him accountable in 2020.”
