During his speech before Congress on Tuesday night, Donald Trump called on Congress to address the "imploding Obamacare disaster." "Tonight, I am also calling on this Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare with reforms that expand choice, increase access, lower costs and at the same time provide better healthcare," Trump said. "Mandating every American to buy government-approved health insurance was never the right solution for America." We speak to Ola Ojewumi, a disabled 26-year-old community activist who attended Trump's speech as a guest of Maryland Congressmember Steny Hoyer, as someone affected by the Affordable Care Act. She is a cancer survivor who has also had a kidney and heart transplant.
