Obama: "No sugar-coating" problems with Healthcare.gov

[Divine Discontent]

Three weeks after the botched rollout of Healthcare.gov, the Obamacare website where Americans in 36 states can shop for private insurance, President Obama on Monday acknowledged the website "is not working the way it should for everybody -- there's no sugar-coating it."

At the same time, Mr. Obama adamantly defended the Affordable Care Act, noting that the health care law is "not just a website."

"The essence of the law -- the health insurance that is available to people -- is working just fine," the president said from the White House Rose Garden, flanked by citizens who have benefited from the Affordable Care Act or are helping people to sign up for insurance through the law.

Mr. Obama stressed that the prices on the new online health insurance marketplaces, referred to as exchanges, are lower than expected and the choices are greater.

Many refuted those who said it was a messed up site (not just overwhelmed), but the president makes it very clear, it needs fixed, and hopefully it'll be fixed within weeks. And, as DevonRex stated, if you tried and gave up, you can get help signing up for ACA in-person at the HRSA facility in your area, where you can also sign up for health care (especially for those in states where the Republicans have blocked Medicaid's expansion)!

HRSA health centers care for you, even if you have no health insurance. *You pay what you can afford, based on your income. Health centers provide

checkups when you're well
treatment when you're sick
complete care when you're pregnant
immunizations and checkups for your children
dental care and prescription drugs for your family
mental health and substance abuse care if you need it

Health centers are in most cities and many rural areas. Type in your address and click the 'Find Health Centers' button to find health centers near you.

And we can thank the president and the last Congress for getting the HRSA funding. We need to put more Democrats back in office in 2014.
