‘What he was expressing was the same view that not only Hillary Clinton has, but President Obama would express as well’

PALMEIRI: "What he was expressing was the same view that not only Hillary Clinton has, but President Obama would express as well, which is that as much progress has been made with the Affordable Care Act that there are -- that there are still a lot of cost issues to be dealt with for -- not just for small businesses but for some individuals which is why she's put forward — Hillary has put forward additional policies, including public option that would -- that would make the plans more competitive, give people more affordable options as well as dealing with things like out of pocket costs. So, there is no doubt as President Clinton said the Affordable Care Act has done enormous good. Donald Trump would get rid of it, which means people would be able to be prohibited care based on a pre-existing condition which means if you are 26 years old you still can’t be on your parents health care plan. So, there's a lot of -- there's still more work to be done and that's what President Clinton was expressing."
