President’s State of The Union Offers Little Commentary on ACA
Posted 01.30.14
No mention of problems that plagued the roll out
In President Obama’s sixth state of the union address, he gave little mention of the problems that have plagued the ACA roll out. He did mention that nine million Americans have signed up for private health insurance or Medicaid. There was no mention of how many of those enrollees were actually gaining coverage for the first time or were replacing policies that were being cancelled as a result of nonconformity with ACA standards. More on this story can be found in the lead story of the January 29, 2014 NAHU Newswire.
Reported in the January 30, 2014, NAHU Newswire is an article that Senate Democrats facing re-election this year are examining possible “fixes” to the ACA to help remove some of the negative feelings of the law.
