President Obama celebrates 5th anniversary of Obamacare by needling Republicans http://trib.al/n9b9IXh
President Obama marked the 5th anniversary of Obamacare being signed into law in a White House event in which he touted the accomplishments of the law, and poked a lot of fun at Republicans who've done nothing but try to repeal it, including this
zinger:
I mean, we have been promised a lot of things these past five years that didnt turn out to be the case: death panels, doom. (Laughter.) A serious alternative from Republicans in Congress. (Laughter.)
He continued, still needling well-deserving Republicans.
But we also know beyond a shred of a doubt that the policy has worked. Coverage is up. Cost growth is at a historic low. Deficits have been slashed. Lives have been saved. So if anybody wants to join us in the spirit of the people who have put aside differences to come here today and help make the law work even better, come on board.
On the other hand, for folks who are basing their entire political agenda on repealing the law, you've got to explain how kicking millions of families off their insurance is somehow going to make us more free. Or why forcing millions of families to pay thousands of dollars more will somehow make us more secure. Or why we should go back to the days when women paid more for coverage than men. Or a preexisting condition locked so many of us out of insurance.
Those are explanations you're not going to be getting from Ted Cruz or any other Republican.
