Description:

President Obama delivers a statement to the press on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the government shutdown. Obama says "one faction of one party in one house of Congress, in one beach of government, shutdown major parts of the government, all because they didn't like one law." Calling the Republican stand to defund the Affordable Care Act an "ideological crusade," Obama describes the impact of their action, even as the ACA begins signing up individuals for health insurance. He reminds listeners that 85% of Americans will see no change to their employer provided coverage and the remaining 15% will finally have a chance to obtain affordable coverage. Held in the Rose Garden at the White House.
