Fact Check: Donald Trump’s misleading claim about Obamacare’s impact on jobs

In Detroit this afternoon, Donald Trump repeated an already-debunked claim about Obamacare costing 2 million jobs. In fact, similar claims have been proven “mostly false” at least three times.

TRUMP’S LIE:

“In the coming days, we will be rolling out plans on all of these items. One of my first acts as President will be to repeal and replace disastrous Obamacare, saving another 2 million American jobs.”

THE TRUTH:

    • PunditFact: Mostly False: “Ingraham: Obamacare ‘is costing 2 million jobs'”

    • PolitiFact: Mostly False: “John Boehner says Obamacare is ‘expected to destroy 2.3 million jobs'”

    • PolitiFact: Mostly False: “NRCC says Congressional Budget Office predicts Obamacare will cost economy 2.5 million jobs”
