“They said it couldn't be done, but as of yesterday and early this morning, 7,000,041 individuals here in the United States accessed and enrolled in the Affordable Care Act. Is it working? Do people want health care? Yes, they do. Do they want access to the Affordable Care Act? Yes, they do.

In the State of Texas, going all the way from last week until the lines around Reliant Stadium, to individuals staying until 10 o'clock at the Community of Faith Church, which I was at with Bishop James Dixon, to the Harris County Department of Education and 500 or 600 there, yes, we want affordable care and the Affordable Care Act to give health care to all Americans. Now, we need to tell the States that you have left out millions of those who could benefit from the expanded Medicaid.
