Pelosi: You Can’t Measure ObamaCare By the Number of People it Insured

‘This, again, is not just about who has it, who doesn’t’

Pelosi: Don't Measure ACA by How Many Uninsured Get Insurance (CNS News)

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says Democrats passed their health insurance law, not to insure the uninsured, but to give people "quality" health care and "affordable" health care.

"Madam Leader, isn't the real measure of success, not the raw number who signed up, but how many of those who signed up were not insured before?" a reporter asked Pelosi at a news conference on Tuesday.

"No, that's not -- the measure is twofold," Pelosi responded. "The message is how many people have access to health care -- quality, affordable health care and insurance."
