House Speaker John Boehner, speaking in
advance of the president's announcement, insisted it was time to scrap this law
(that he calls Obamacare) he should correctly say the Affordable Health Care
Act.
You can't fix this government-run health
care plan," he said. "It's just not fixable."
He clearly should have said that which he
intend to never help to insure the people?
President Barack Obama speaks about his
signature health care law, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013, in the Brady Press Briefing
Room of the White House in Washington.
The president intends to permit continued
sale for a year, individual insurance plans that have been canceled because
they failed to meet coverage standards under the health care law, officials
said Thursday.
"We're going to solve the problems
that are there, we're going to get it right, and the Affordable Care Act is
going to work for the American people," he pledged.
Obama, for his part, made clear he would
continue to fight ongoing attempts to sink the whole program, saying, "I
will not accept proposals that are just another brazen attempt to undermine or
repeal the overall law and drag us back into a broken system."
