Obama: ‘People Didn’t Notice’ Parts of ObamaCare We Did Well

‘I am confident people will say, “this is working well and it’s helping a lot of people”‘

OBAMA: "You know, that's on me. I mean, we fumbled the roll-out on this health care law. There are a whole bunch of things about it that are working really well, which people didn't notice, because they weren't controversial. So making sure kids could stay on their parents' plans until they were -- up through the age of 25. Making sure seniors got more discounts on their prescription drugs. There were a whole bunch of stuff we had well -- bunch of stuff we did well over the first three years. but we always knew the marketplaces creating a place where people could shop, and through competition get a better deal for the health insurance that their families need, we always knew that would be complicated and everybody would be paying a lot of attention to it. We should have done a better job getting that right on day one. Not on day 28 or on day 40. I am confident that by the time we look back on this next year, that people are going to say, 'this is working well and it's helping a lot of people.'"
