The President after the G-7 summit this week said the Affordable Care Act is working.

The Public Record
I really do hope, regardless of the court decision and how that goes, that we will be able to work with the Administration on addressing some of these affordability costs.
I urge, I urge CMS to delay any penalty for coding errors for at least 2 years.
I believe we need to look for improvements in the law, to strengthen the law, but that the idea of denying relief to people who are receiving it right now is to take away from them Federal tax assistance.
Is the President going to come out and say, 'Only my way or the highway,' one-sentence, one-page fix, or is that President of the United States going to be thinking less about digging in and defending his law as exactly written?
Will they stand up with one piece of paper and say, 'My way or the highway,' or will they work with Congress to address the situation?
So here is the question I am trying to get at. Is the President going to stand up and wave, I have a one-page bill, I have a one-sentence fix, take it my way or the highway, is that going to be the Administration's position? Or is the Administration going to be willing to work with Congress to find a way to give people more healthcare freedom?
We know the most egregious example, the subsidies. The law says that people who buy plans on State exchanges can get subsidies. It doesn't say anything about Federal exchanges.
Any day now the Supreme Court... is about to rule, and if the Court rules against the Administration then millions of people will be stuck with a government-designed health insurance that they cannot afford.
Sadly, Madam Secretary, the President continues to shamelessly condemn and attack those standing up for patient-centered health care.
Let me first start off by saying where we agree with the Administration we work with the Administration.
