Its taken worry away: Trump voter says he hopes Trump doesnt take away his Obamacare [View all]

Given that well over 60 million people voted for Donald Trump in 2016, it stands to reason that some of those voters are also people who benefit from Obamacare.

On such voter is Bob Ruscoe, who tells CNN that he hopes Trump really thinks carefully before ripping away health insurance from the tens of millions of people who now get their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.

“We’ll have to see what pans out,” he said. “It may not be totally repealed. It may be something else. I hope something will remain in place.”

For many years, Ruscoe could not obtain any form of health insurance because insurers were scared off by his weight, which at one point topped 300 pounds.

Once Obamacare went live in 2014, however, Ruscoe said he could get an affordable plan for he and his wife that cost $338 per month, whereas without Obamacare he’d have to spend $1,150 for the same plan.
