ObamaCare is here to stay, the president said in his weekly address, just two days after the Supreme Court upheld provisions of his signature healthcare law.
“On Thursday, when the Court upheld a critical part of the Affordable Care Act, it was a victory for hardworking Americans all across this country whose lives are more secure because of this law,” President Obama said.
“The Affordable Care Act still stands, it is working, and it is here to stay.”
His speech came after Thursday’s landmark 6-3 Supreme Court that upheld the expansion of health care subsidies into states that didn’t set up local exchanges.
Republicans, and the three conservative justices who opposed the majority ruling, criticized the decision over the past two days as judicial overreach.
Obama chided Republican lawmakers for taking “more than 50 votes in Congress to repeal or weaken this law,” and for spreading “misinformation campaigns and doomsday predictions,” while outlining its benefits.
“If you’re a parent, you can keep your kids on your plan until they turn 26. If you’re a senior, or an American with a disability, this law gives you discounts on your prescriptions. You can’t be charged more just because you’re a woman. And you can’t be discriminated against just for having a pre-existing condition,” he said.
Obama also praised the law for working “as it’s supposed to, and in some ways, better.” He counted the more than 16 million people that have received insurance through the law and argued the law has slowed health care prices to its slowest growth in 50 years.

Exactly!
While punching the U.S. in the face he is saying “give up”.
“The science is settled!”
Unless Emperor Zero has 50 trillion in his back pocket, nothing the US government does is gonna last very long.
Humble and magnanimous: that’s our Dear Leader.
He’s high on drugs.
He is nothing but a liar, and I REFUSE!
I will not listen to the bastard now, or ever.
And so is Barry Soetoro, I am afraid .... seeing as how the Congress and Senate sells us ALL out now on almost a DAILY basis, a third/continuous term for this POTUS does not seem so “far fetched” any longer.
The comment on it's face means the opposite. What a moron? This guy negotiates around the world? Well, I suppose so if you look at his record of disaster.
Until it collapses under its own weight. Guaranteed.
doesn’t the subsidy fund run dry in a couple of years... that should be fun
But, the LIVs and liberals of this formerly proud country did essentially the same thing with this imposter..........
When has running out of money stopped the bastards in DC before?
