White House: ObamaCare Will Create ‘Winners and Losers’

‘I don’t have, like, specifics from your networks’

Jay Carney Pressed to Concede Obamacare Will Have ‘Winners and Losers’ (Mediaite)

During Monday afternoon’s White House Press Briefing, NBC reporter Peter Alexander pressed Jay Carney to concede on behalf of the administration that the Affordable Care Act will have its share of “winners and losers.”

The question came about after Fox reporter Ed Henry mentioned the case of Dianne Barrette, a 56-year-old woman who tearfully told CBS News how under Obamacare her healthcare costs will increase at least ten times. To her case, Carney said he could not address the policy on an “individual case-by-case” basis asserting that millions of Americans will now have insurance they previously did not have.
