WASHINGTON (Reuters) - After four rocky weeks while his landmark health insurance law has been disparaged as poorly managed, expensive and disappointing, President Barack Obama will travel to Boston on Wednesday to try to reset expectations about Obamacare.
Obama is scheduled to deliver a speech in 271-year-old Faneuil Hall, where some of the seeds of the American revolution took root - and where on April 12, 2006, the start of another historic shift began.
Against the backdrop of a huge painting of a famous debate on preserving the union at a time when the nation verged on civil war, then-Republican Governor Mitt Romney signed a law mandating health insurance for most of the state's residents.
Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy, who had long advocated for health reform, stood behind Romney's chair on the ornate dias, looking victorious, as state Democrats crowded around.
On Wednesday, Obama will try to channel that moment and draw lessons from the Massachusetts experience to argue that Obamacare - his version of health insurance reform - will improve people's lives and help the country's economy, even if the online registration process has gotten off to a slow and troubled start.
Obama used the Massachusetts plan as a blueprint for his healthcare exchanges, which went live on October 1, and require Americans to buy insurance by March 31.

The place will need to be disinfected after this communist spews his filth.
The FIRST thing that Obama says in a speech is ALWAYS a Lie.
The SECOND thing that Obama says in a speech is to accuse a Republican of thinking some evil thing that Obama has already done.

This whole state needs to be disinfected…no wonder I didn’t feel well earlier… the evil one is near!
Then he’ll be off to the World Series. (an earlier post referenced how Boston PD are preparing for a visit) Booed or cheered?
I hear ya.
We need a thorough delousing in DC, the WH, Capitol Hill and SCotUS.
Crimes against man is one thing, crimes against the Constitution another, imo.
High Crimes have been committed and a gubamint sworn to uphold law is now the biggest violator of it.
Who has that pic of Mitt & the boys yukking it up when he was signing this?
If he goes there tomorrow and the Sox lose 2 in a row, he’ll blame Bush.
His presence will keep the curse alive.
The United States of America. Population 320 million with 35 to 50 million illegal alien invaders.
There's your problem right there, Skippy!
Anytime the media turns against an idea and starts to heap ridicule on it like the Edsel, it's pretty much a dead duck!!!
It's an actuarially flawed law whose time has come and gone like a flash in the pan!!!
In a friendly setting .... all of New England large urban cities, formerly the seat of liberty and freedom, now the seat of American communism.
that will not go well.
Mitt said repeatedly that Mass. Care won’t work on a national level. He promised that on day 1 that Obamacare would be overturned with a stroke of the pen.
Red Sox fans are a whole different animal… but then again VIP tickets disappeared…if that POS effs up our World Series there Will be revolution in the Streets!
