In Weekend Address, Obama Blasts Republicans Threatening To Block ObamaCare

The president says health care is not about politics but human rights

ObamaCare: President Accuses GOP of 'Sticking it to' American People by Fighting Law (HNGN)

President Barack Obama used his weekly radio address to discuss the upcoming implementation of the Affordable Care Act; the health care reform derisively called "Obamacare" has been fought tooth and nail by Republicans since becoming law three years ago, according to Politico.

"A lot of Republicans seem to believe that if they can gum up the works and make this law fail they'll somehow be sticking it to me," President Obama said. "But they'd just be sticking it to you."

As the law is becoming closer to being implemented it seems to be facing trouble every step of the way. It was recently announced that the employee mandate that would require employers of over 50 people provide health care to their workers was pushed back a year, an executive decision that some are questioning the constitutionality of, according to the Wall Street Journal.
