During CNN’s Democratic town hall on Sunday evening, a woman confronted Hillary Clinton about how Obamacare has impacted her.
The Ohio voter said she voted for Barack Obama, but her health insurance “skyrocketed” from $490 a month to $1,080 a month under Obamacare. She added, she “would like to vote Democratic, but it has cost me a lot of money. And I’m just wondering if Democrats really realize how difficult it has been on working-class Americans to finance Obamacare.”
In her reply, Clinton asked about the specifics of the woman’s insurance, talked about all the good Obamacare has done, and even asked the voter “to go on and keep looking to see what the prices are” on Obamacare’s federal exchange.
“One thing that I would like you to do—and I’m not saying it’s going to making a difference, but I would like for you to go shopping on that exchange. As i understand it, Ohio has the federal exchange—is that right, Joyce? Because they did not set up a state exchange, so you have the federal exchange. And to go on and keep looking to see what the prices are, because we have to get more competition back into the insurance market.”
