Trump Meeting With 'Obamacare Victims' in Ohio

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he is heading to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he would meet with "Obamacare victims."

Trump made the announcement on Twitter:

One person he met with is Raya Whalen, an owner of a playground equipment company, according to Trump in a speech after the meeting, which was broadcast on YouTube.

Whalen's company offered healthcare to its 15 employees, which was not deemed sufficient under Obamacare, and her deductible rose to almost $15,000, Trump said in his speech.

"Dan's story is just as bad," Trump said, referring to Dan Withrow, CSS Distribution Group president. His company faced a 150-percent rise in healthcare premiums, which prevented the company from hiring more people.

"The American people are paying much more for much worse coverage. The coverage is horrendous," Trump said.
