Schiff noted that under many Republican presidents, regulations have been installed that actually hurt the economy, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act under former president George H.W. Bush. "That caused all sorts of problems for small business," he said about the act.

Insurance could only be used for life-threatening circumstances
Medicare and Medicaid would be terminated
