Carly Fiorina: 'Obamacare Isn't Helping Anyone'
Carly Fiorina delivered a lecture on the Affordable Care Act during the Republican Fox Business debate tonight. I'm going to quote driftglass' live blog on this, because I saw red to the point where I was shouting in all caps on Twitter:
Maria Bartiromo: FaceBook asks... how do we get rid of (wait for it) regulations! Surprise! Also Obamacare.
Carly Fiorina: Obamacare is evil because corporate hacks like me wrote it. It's tens of millions of pages long written in Sanskrit or some damn thing. No one understands it. I know more about destroying businesses than anyone alive on Earth, which is why we have to take out government back from regulations.
Maria Bartiromo: What's the alternative to Obamacare.
Carly Fiorina: Let the free market fix it. Obamacare has not helped anyone. As a cancer survivor who was paid 100 million dollars to get the hell away from the business I nearly killed, you can trust me.
Now, for the fact check, via Jeff Young at Huffington Post:
"Obamacare isn't helping anyone," Fiorina said. "Obamacare has to be repealed because it's failing the very people it is intending to help."
