Highlighting the Obamacare premium hikes needs to be part of Donald Trump's strategy in the final two weeks of the presidential campaign, political commentator Dick Morris told Newsmax TV.
During an interview with Steve Malzberg on "America Talks Live," Morris said Tuesday Trump should stick to the issues as he tries to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton.
"Those premium increases are huge. Most of them won't actually hit until after the election," Morris said. "These are predictions and the reason they're doing that of course is that they want to wait until after the election to give people the bad news but thankfully it's leaked early. Trump should be talking about it all over the place.
"I think the way you said it was great; $11,000 for your healthcare and it's insidious because the deductibles are high. It means all this garbage about preventive medicine and catching diseases in time and wellness care is all nonsense because who's going to pay a $5,000 deductible to take a flu shot?"

Morris said other issues, from the threat of terrorism to the "anemic jobs report," should be part of Trump's campaign speeches as he launches his final push to drum up support.
"What's going on in the world right now should buy us this election heavily in favor of Trump," Morris said. "He just needs to go around and correlate it to his campaign."
Morris is the author of the bestselling book "Armageddon: How Trump Can Beat Hillary," written with Eileen McGann and published by Humanix Books available on B+N and Amazon.
