Senator Marco Rubio: “Well on ObamaCare, I think he needs to walk away from that and basically suspend its implementation. It is going to be a disaster. So I’m telling you right now there are people watching this program, maybe even people that supported ObamaCare, but when they get their premiums in January and they see how much that has increased, or when they get moved from full time to part time, they’re not going to be happy and the president is going to have some questions to answer.”
FOX News’ Bill Hemmer: “You just said he should suspend the key piece of legislation passed under his administration, ObamaCare. Do you see that happening?”
Rubio: “Yeah, absolutely. I think it should be repealed. I don’t think he’s going to have a choice to be honest with you. I think it’s going to be debilitating to our economy. Look, at some point here over the next weeks and months people are going to start meeting with their accountants and going over what they’re going to have to pay and do next year, and they’re going to make decisions based on that. They’re going to drop coverage, they’re going to move, they’re going to lay people off, they’re not going to hire people. They’re going to move people to part time, and peoples’ premiums are going to go up. I’m telling you people next year in January when they get their new insurance, it is going to be more expensive for millions and millions of Americans because of ObamaCare. So, I think they’re going to be in a world of hurt when that happens, but worse than that our country and our economy is going to be in a world of hurt because of that.”
