Ezekiel Emanuel Says Voter Complaining About Broken ObamaCare Promises Is Lying

EXCERPT:

EMANUEL: "First of all, not all those broken promises are accurate. The Affordable Care Act has done some remarkable things for people. First of all, it limited total out-of-pocket costs that people would have to pay. Those are high limits, but it does prevent people from going bankrupt and that is, I think, an important protection. And that’s true for everyone. The second thing I would say is, look, one of the problems of the affordable — that has emerged after we passed the Affordable Care Act is we needed some fixes. We recognized we needed to fix some things in the marketplaces and the exchanges to bring premiums down. We needed to guarantee the cost-sharing subsidies to have reinsurance so that if an insurance company had super-high expensive people it wouldn’t affect everyone’s premiums. We also needed to get more insurance companies in rural areas and uncovered counties by maybe reducing their taxes from the Affordable Care Act. There are a lot of fixes that can be done."
