Trump: Obamacare hurting my golf club employees

Donald Trump is saying the high cost of Obamacare is hurting employees at one of his golf clubs. But the club manager later clarified that most workers won’t be affected.

Trump appeared Tuesday with employees at the Trump National Doral club outside Miami to tout his ability to create jobs.

The Republican nominee seized on news that average premiums under the Affordable Care Act will jump by 25 percent in popular plans before taxpayer subsidies kick in.

Trump said “all of my employees are having tremendous problem with Obamacare.” That implied he was not providing his employees health insurance.

The club’s general manager, David Feder, later said that “more than 95 percent” of the club’s employees are on company-provided insurance, with the only exceptions being some part-time and seasonal workers.
