Senator Lindsey Graham: "ObamaCare increased the cost of Healthcare while worsening the quality. We won't continue to fund this broken system that only rewards Insurance Companies!"

Video transcript 0:40

You're asking me and others to continue a program that is fundamentally broken. That's inflationary. And the only winner of Obamacare are the largest health care companies in America who are making excessive profits off a health care system you designed. And all you want is more people signed up on this program and you're rewarding insurance companies for finding more people who are making a fortune and the delivery of health care is costing more and the quality is going down. We're not going to do this. We're not going to give in to this.

Fact Checks (3)

"ObamaCare increased the cost of Healthcare"

Half True

Premiums rose for some individual market plans but subsidies offset costs for most enrollees. Overall healthcare cost growth slowed post-ACA compared to pre-ACA trends.

"ObamaCare worsened the quality of healthcare"

Mostly False

ACA expanded coverage to ~20M uninsured, eliminated pre-existing condition exclusions, mandated essential health benefits. Quality metrics generally improved or held steady.

"The system only rewards Insurance Companies"

Half True

Insurance company profits did grow under ACA, but millions of consumers gained coverage and protections. 'Only' is the false element.
