John King: ‘ObamaCare Is in the Eye of the Beholder’

KING: “Well this is, Kate, why I say that ObamaCare is in the eye of the beholder, because you had that big controversy. Remember the president said if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Well it turned out for millions of Americans that simply was not true, and it's been one of the reasons the president's approval numbers are down. Plus, the website, the complication of the ObamaCare rollout. So what the Administration has said is those people who’ve lost their plans can purchase the catastrophic health plan that's offered through ObamaCare. And a lot of Democrats, independents -- Angus King issued a statement last night saying thank you to the White House, saying now these people have an option, the uncertainty ends, they can find a plan. But you have Republicans saying, wait a minute Mr. President, you are now breaking your own rules, your own ambitions for ObamaCare because this is a cut-rate plan, it doesn't have all the benefits that the president had said. The goal of ObamaCare was to get people more comprehensive plans with better benefits. So the debate continues here, but it does give those people an option to pick a plan and pick a plan quickly. The question is, will they like it when they get there? Republicans are saying it’s proof the program is a failure because you have to do this subpar plan essentially.”
