Steny Hoyer: ObamaCare ‘Needs to Be Made Better’

‘We believe the Affordable Care Act needs to be made better, needs to be made fixed and that’s our position’

STIREWALT: "When that moment comes, you guys get ready to get in the zone and find a solution?" 
HOYER: "We believe the Affordable Care Act needs to be made better, needs to be made fixed and that’s our position. We think the Affordable Care Act, however, has done exactly what it was set out to do. It’s added millions and millions of people to having health care security, to having insurance, it’s made sure that people with preexisting conditions could get insurance. It’s made sure there weren’t lifetime limits forcing people in bankruptcy, allowing 26-year-olds, 18 to 26-year-olds to stay on their family policy, make sure that seniors didn’t have a donut hole."
