Technical Issues Latest Angle for Obamacare Attacks
October 22, 2013
U.S. President Barack Obama is once again defending his signature health care initiative against attempts to have it dismantled, and the fight is far from over. Some Republicans in Congress vow to continue efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. In addition, the Obama administration has to work out various glitches in the program before its new insurance plans come into effect January 1.
President Obama reminded Americans on Monday that many of them are already benefiting from the new health care law, even though they may not know it.
"Already, because of the Affordable Care Act, preventive care like mammograms and birth control are free through your employers. That’s part of this law. So, there are a wide range of consumer protections and benefits that you already have if you've got health insurance. You may not have noticed them, but you’ve got them, and they’re not going anywhere," said Obama.
Many Americans have expressed frustration about computer bugs that have interfered with their efforts to enroll online for the insurance plans. The president stopped short of apologizing for the failures, but said he is as frustrated with the glitches as everyone else.
He went on to explain the advantages of the program's new health insurance marketplaces over more expensive individual private insurers.
