Former President Bill Clinton is trying to walk back his comments Monday in which he called Obamacare “the craziest thing in the world” while campaigning for Hillary Clinton in Flint, Michigan.
Bill Clinton: “The people who are getting killed in this deal are small business people and individuals who make just a little too much to get any of these subsidies. Why? Because they’re not organized, they don’t have any bargaining power with insurance companies, and they’re getting whacked. So you’ve got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have healthcare, and then the people who are out there busting it sometimes 60 hours a week wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. It’s the craziest thing in the world.”
On Tuesday, Bill Clinton attempted to walk back his comments by saying Obama’s signature legislation did a “world of good.”
