- Description:
- President Obama talks about the Affordable Care Act, often derisively referred to as "Obamacare." Obama recounts the history of the legislation and talks about the October 1st implementation date for the insurance exchanges. He describes features that have already been implemented like preventive care, children being able to stay on parent's plans until age 26, lower costs, eliminating charges based on gender, and requiring companies to cover pre-existing conditions. Obama explains how pooling risk keeps premiums low and gives evidence of companies already lowering their rates in the new, competitive, and transparent system. He takes on critics of the ACA refuting their points and predicts that when it is successful current opponents will not only embrace it but declare they were actually in favor of it. Held at Prince George's Community College in Largo, Maryland.
