Former Obama Adviser David Axelrod Gets Absolutely RIPPED on Social Media for Complaining About Rising Cost of Obamacare

 

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

David Axelrod, the Chicago Machine Democrat considered the ‘architect’ of Obama’s 2008 presidential run, recently complained on Twitter/X about the rising cost of healthcare premiums under the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare as it’s widely known.

Other Twitter/X users ripped into Axelrod, pointing out his involvement in this issue.

This has become a running theme among Democrats who desperately want the country to forget that Democrats passed Obamacare on an entirely party-line vote while they controlled everything in Washington during Obama’s first term.

Here is Axelrod’s tweet:

Through family, I heard about a couple in WI who started a small business and were planning to expand. Now, with their ACA premiums TRIPLED due to congressional inaction, they've had to scrap plans to expand & grow. I'm sure that scenario is repeating itself all over the U.S.

FOX News explains how this unfolded in recent months:

The U.S. entered into a government shutdown on Oct. 1 when Democrats refused to advance spending legislation unless Congress renewed expiring COVID-19-era Obamacare subsidies. However, after weeks of stalled talks, a handful of Senate Democrats voted to reopen the government without securing any extension to the enhanced assistance.

Those subsidies expired at the end of 2025, returning millions of Obamacare policyholders to pre-COVID levels of federal assistance.

Here are some of the responses Axelrod received:

If only we could identify who wrote this law in the first place!

So what you’re saying is the Affordable Care Act is not actually affordable?

If only we knew who came up with this system…. https://t.co/UdMzYN1u79

You and Obama lied about Obamacare. You destroyed Healthcare in this country.

That's weird Mr. Axelrod, I don't remember your concern back when the ACA was passed and I lost my insurance, the only doctors my kids knew, and the replacement Obamacare insurance was TRIPLE the price with TRIPLE the deductible.

You hypocrite…

Here’s David Axelrod in 2009 talking about how great Obamacare is going to be for the American people.

David Axelrod, 2026: People’s ACA premiums are tripling.

David Axelrod, pushing the ACA in 2009: "I have no doubt that once this bill is passed and implemented, the American people will appreciate it.

It will improve the lives of people all across this country." https://t.co/AqaKw5XPTp pic.twitter.com/pzyESdjx5W

The Democrats have no shame. They were warned not to pass Obamacare. Now they want to blame everyone but themselves.
