WATCH: Sen. Warren Claims Republicans ‘Created’ the Health-Care Crisis
Sen. Elizabeth Warren used a Senate hearing this week to deliver yet another dramatic, inaccurate attack on President Donald Trump—this time claiming that Trump is responsible for rising health-care premiums across the country.
Speaking Wednesday on Capitol Hill, Warren accused the administration of “ripping away coverage,” “skyrocketing premiums,” and “creating a health-care crisis.”
But her argument collapsed under the weight of basic facts she failed to address.
Warren began by declaring that “health care in America is already too expensive,” a rare point of agreement.
But instead of acknowledging that premiums, deductibles, and co-pays rose for ten consecutive years under Democrat leadership, she blamed President Trump for conditions he inherited from the Affordable Care Act.
During the hearing, she claimed Trump worked with Republicans to pass what she called the “Big Beautiful Bill,” insisting it stripped coverage from “15 million people.”
This talking point has been repeatedly debunked: the bill only removes health coverage for illegal immigrants and sets a 40-hour work requirement for able-bodied adults.
In a revealing moment, Warren asked witness Mr. Levitis whether premiums would “double next year.”
Levitis confirmed that certain ACA benchmark plans could spike—but he also identified the real driver: the ACA’s collapsing risk pools and concentrated market exits, not Trump’s actions.
For a 60-year-old couple earning around $85,000, he cited approximate increases of $24,000, a cost surge that directly reflects the structural failures built into the ACA.
Rather than acknowledging this, Warren tried linking premium increases to tariffs and “input costs”—a stretch with no measurable connection to health-care pricing.
She then claimed the solution is to “permanently extend ACA tax credits,” a policy that would cost taxpayers roughly $23 billion next year alone. She omitted the obvious: these subsidies don’t lower costs.
They simply shift costs to taxpayers while insurers raise premiums in the background.
Warren repeated the long-debunked claim that Republicans have “tried 70 times” to dismantle the ACA, ignoring that most votes were symbolic amendments, budget procedures, or messaging resolutions.
Meanwhile, under President Trump’s current term, the U.S. has seen record high HSA usage, expanded short-term plans, lower-cost association plans for small businesses, increased hospital price transparency, and the first national decline in prescription drug prices in over a decade—policies that give consumers more options and more control.
The biggest irony came when Warren praised Democrat leadership for “standing up a clean energy economy”—an unrelated talking point she inserted mid-hearing despite the topic being health care.
This sloppy pivot underscored what is becoming increasingly obvious: Democrats prefer blaming Trump for complex economic and regulatory issues while refusing to admit the ACA’s chronic failures.
Families know the truth. Health-care costs rose for years before President Trump took office—and they are only now seeing relief because his administration is expanding competition, transparency, and affordability in ways Democrats never attempted.
