Burwell: Reducing Uninsured More Important than ‘Keep Your Health Plan’ Promise

‘For those millions of American who have coverage that didn’t before, they’re certainly in a place that is much different’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BURWELL: "You know, with regard to folks, many of the people we've seen the drop in uninsured be 20 million folks. For those people, they didn't have insurance before the efordable care act. For 20 million Americans they didn't have that insurance and now they have that insurance and they have choices. In addition, what I would say is, there are many tooling we are providing. That's one of the things that will continue to improve in this open enrollment. The tools to go on and shop by doctor, shop by drugs in terms there are certainly prescriptions you take. In terms of increasing the choice and increasing the ability to even have plans, if you had any pre-existing conditions. For those millions of American who have coverage that didn't before, they're in a place that is much different."
