WEEKLY
ADDRESS:
Working
to
Implement
the
Affordable
Care
Act
WASHINGTON,DC—
In
this
week’s
address,President
Obama
said
we
are
on
the
way
to
fully
implementing
the
Affordable
Care
Act
and
helping
millions
of
Americans.
Unfortunately,a
group
of
Republicans
in
Congress
are
working
to
confuse
people
and
are
even
suggesting
they
will
shut
down
the
government
if
they
cannot
shut
down
the
health
care
law.
Health
insurance
isn’t
something
to
play
politics
with,and
the
President
will
keep
working
to
make
sure
the
law
works
as
it’s
supposed
to,and
he
encourages
everyone
to
visit
HealthCare.gov
to
find
out
more
about
the
law
and
how
to
sign
up.
Remarks
of
President
Barack
Obama
Weekly
Address
The
White
House
August
17,2013
Hi,everybody.
Over
the
past
few
weeks,I’ve
been
visiting
with
Americans
across
the
country
to
talk
about
what
we
need
to
do
to
secure
a
better
bargain
for
the
middle
class.
We
need
to
rebuild
an
economy
that
rewards
hard
work
and
responsibility;
an
economy
built
firmly
on
the
cornerstones
of
middle-class
life.
Good
jobs.
A
good
education.
A
home
of
your
own.
A
secure
retirement.
And
quality,affordable
health
care
that’s
there
when
you
need
it.
Right
now,we’re
well
on
our
way
to
fully
implementing
the
Affordable
Care
Act.
And
in
the
next
few
months,we’ll
reach
a
couple
milestones
with
real
meaning
for
millions
of
Americans.
If
you’re
one
of
the
85%
of
Americans
who
already
have
insurance,you’ve
already
got
new
benefits
and
protections
under
this
law
that
you
didn’t
before.
Free
checkups,mammograms,and
contraceptive
care.
Discounted
prescription
medicine
on
Medicare.
The
fact
you
can
stay
on
your
parents’
plan
until
you
turn
26.
And
much,much
more.
And
it’s
okay
if
you’re
not
a
fan
of
the
Affordable
Care
Act
–
you
can
take
advantage
of
these
things
anyway.
If
you
don’t
have
insurance,beginning
on
October
1st,private
plans
will
actually
compete
for
your
business.
You
can
comparison
shop
in
an
online
marketplace,just
like
you
would
for
cell
phone
plans
or
plane
tickets.
You
may
be
eligible
for
new
tax
credits
to
help
you
afford
the
plan
that’s
right
for
you.
And
if
you’re
in
the
up
to
half
of
all
Americans
who’ve
been
sick
or
have
a
preexisting
condition,this
law
means
that
beginning
January
1st,insurance
companies
have
to
cover
you
–
and
they
can’t
use
your
medical
history
to
charge
you
more
than
anybody
else.
You
can
find
out
more
about
the
law,and
how
to
sign
up
to
buy
your
own
coverage
right
now
at
HealthCare.gov.
Tell
your
friends
and
neighbors
without
insurance
about
it,too.
And
tell
your
kids
that
there’s
a
new,easy
way
to
buy
affordable
plans
specifically
tailored
to
young
people.
Many
Members
of
Congress,in
both
parties,are
working
hard
to
inform
their
constituents
about
these
benefits,protections,and
affordable
plans.
But
there’s
also
a
group
of
Republicans
in
Congress
working
hard
to
confuse
people,and
making
empty
promises
that
they’ll
either
shut
down
the
health
care
law,or,if
they
don’t
get
their
way,they’ll
shut
down
the
government.
Think
about
that.
They’re
actually
having
a
debate
between
hurting
Americans
who
will
no
longer
be
denied
affordable
care
just
because
they’ve
been
sick
–
and
harming
the
economy
and
millions
of
Americans
in
the
process.
And
many
Republicans
are
more
concerned
with
how
badly
this
debate
will
hurt
them
politically
than
they
are
with
how
badly
it’ll
hurt
the
country.
A
lot
of
Republicans
seem
to
believe
that
if
they
can
gum
up
the
works
and
make
this
law
fail,they’ll
somehow
be
sticking
it
to
me.
But
they’d
just
be
sticking
it
to
you.
Some
even
say
that
if
you
call
their
office
with
questions
about
the
law,they’ll
refuse
to
help.
Call
me
old-fashioned
–
but
that’s
lousy
constituent
service.
And
it’s
not
what
you
deserve.
Your
health
insurance
isn’t
something
to
play
politics
with.
Our
economy
isn’t
something
to
play
politics
with.
This
isn’t
a
game.
This
is
about
the
economic
security
of
millions
of
families.
See,in
the
states
where
governors
and
legislatures
and
insurers
are
working
together
to
implement
this
law
properly
–
states
like
California,New
York,Colorado
and
Maryland
–
competition
and
consumer
choice
are
actually
making
insurance
affordable.
So
I’m
going
to
keep
doing
everything
in
my
power
to
make
sure
this
law
works
as
it’s
supposed
to.
Because
in
the
United
States
of
America,health
insurance
isn’t
a
privilege
–
it
is
your
right.
And
we’re
going
to
keep
it
that
way.
Thanks.
And
have
a
great
weekend.
