Key component of health care overhaul gets underway
Print Edition
The Obama administration rolled out a key component of its landmark health care overhaul yesterday, moving forward despite a federal government shutdown sparked by Republican efforts to derail the law designed to extend insurance coverage to millions of Americans.
Consumers will be able to shop for the first time on insurance marketplaces that open around the US, getting their first close look at the program at the center of the political storm in Washington.
The online insurance exchanges open after months of buildup as President Barack Obama and his allies tried to convince skeptical Americans of the merits of program that could define his legacy. Republicans have seized on a list of technical glitches and delays that have emerged as evidence the law won’t work. But the White House says that’s true for any big, new program and won’t affect the outcome.
“I would suspect that there will be glitches. This is 50 states, a lot of people signing up for something. And there are going to be problems,” Obama said. “But what we’re confident about is that people will be able to take a look and find out whether this is something that is going to be good for their families.”
