Trump Just Praised Australia’s Universal Healthcare Moments After Republicans Voted to Repeal Obamacare
President Trump just admitted that Ausralia’s universal healthcare system is “much better” than America’s mere hours after House Republicans voted to repeal Obamacare.
The comments came during Trump’s long-delayed sit-down with Australia’s Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. At first it seemed like a typical Trumpian bashing of Obamacare:
“The premiums are going to come down very substantially. Deductibles are going to come down. It’s going to be fantastic health care,” Trump said of Republican’s recently-passed American Health Care Act (AKA Trumpcare).
But then Trump pivoted into lavish praise of Australia’s healthcare system, which offers free healthcare to its citizens funded largely by taxes, with wealthy citizens paying extra. This system is essentially the very opposite of Trumpcare, which cuts $880 billion from Medicaid and gives $594 billion in tax cuts to the wealthy.
“Right now Obamacare is failing,” Trump continued. “I shouldn’t say this to our great gentleman and my friend from Australia because you have better health care than we do. We’re going to have great health care very soon.”
