Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton sparred over Obamacare during the second presidential debate on Sunday, outlining how they would reform the health insurance system.
“Obamacare is a disaster,” Trump said. “You know it, we all know it.”
The candidates responded to a question on how they would bring down the costs of healthcare which surged after the Affordable Care Act was passed.
Americans are paying more out of pocket for their medical care than ever before, partially because of the rise of high-deductible plans . Also, the percentage of Americans’ income spent on healthcare is increasing.
