Biden Says He’ll ‘Take Care of Your Health Coverage’
Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic presidential nominee, campaigned in Southfield, Mich., Friday, and spoke of his personal experience with the health care system when his son Beau Biden was ill. He vowed to take care of Americans’ health coverage the same way he would his own family.
Getting rid of Obamacare is why they’re racing to get this nominee through the Supreme Court. Make no mistake about it, Trump’s made it clear from the beginning, as your opponent has, he wants to get rid of Obamacare in its entirety. And with this nominee, he’s made that incredibly clear as well. Michigan deserves so much better. And I promise you, when I’m president, I’ll take care of your health coverage the same way I would my own family. When Barack and I decided we had to bet on Michigan — remember all the blowback, even from some Democrats — we can’t compete. We bet on autoworkers, we bet on the U.A.W. And they came through, and it paid off. [applause] For real — the industry wasn’t in in trouble because auto workers were in trouble, because of management decisions. Over the objective of many, we stepped in to rescue the automobile industry — General Motors and Chrysler — saving over one million jobs by that one deal. [applause] Don’t ever underestimate the American worker.
