Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., criticized President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers over Obamacare on Wednesday, suggesting that it could now be referred to as “Trumpcare.”
“Might as well call it Trumpcare now. Our party has made no serious effort to repeal Obamacare and legalize affordable health insurance after taking control of the House, Senate & White House,” Massie wrote on a post on X.
“Why? Because the current system enriches insurance and hospital companies,” he added.
