While conceding that Obamacare implementation will continue to face “some glitches,” President Obama criticized Capitol Hill Republicans for opposing the law and thereby denying health care to Americans. “Their No. 1 priority, the one unifying principle in the Republican party at the moment is making sure that 30 million people don’t have health care,” he said at his press conference this afternoon, calling the goal their “Holy Grail.”
“The notion is simply that those 30 million people . . . will be better off without it,” the president told reporters. “Not backed by fact, not backed by evidence — it’s just become an ideological fixation.”
But he did admit there’s “no doubt about it — there’s going to be things where we say, ‘We should have thought about that earlier,’ or ‘This would work a little bit better.’”
