Monthly premium prices have climbed, which further discourages some people from signing up.
“Maybe now that I’m leaving office, maybe Republicans can stop with the 60-something repeal votes they’ve taken and stop pretending that they have a serious alternative … and just work with the next president to smooth out the kinks,” he said in a speech at Miami Dade College. “They can even change the name of the law to Reagancare, or Paul Ryan care,” Obama said, evoking the name of the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives. “I don’t care. I just want it to work.”
“Maybe now that I’m leaving office,” what a shallow statement to make, that it was the Republicans fault for this Healthcare mess.

If they had backbone in the beginning, this would never be. How much more can the public endure, I duo not know. What do you think?
