WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says his health care law is no longer just a law or a theory, but a reality for millions of Americans whose lives have improved.
Obama is defending the health care overhaul during an address to the Catholic Hospital Association Conference in Washington. The speech comes as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on whether a key benefit of the law is valid.
Obama says the law is now part of the fabric of how Americans care for one another. He says in some ways the law has worked out better than anticipated.
Obama is poking fun at opponents who issues “unending Chicken Little warnings” about what would happen if the law passed. Obama says none of those predictions came true.
