Obama: 'There Are Still No Death Panels. Armageddon Has Not Arrived.' 'Time To Get Over It'
"There are still no death panels. Armageddon has not arrived," Obama said. "The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay."
Obama Tells GOP: Time To Get Over Obamacare
"The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay," Obama said Tuesday in the White House Rose Garden. "In the end, history is not kind to those who deny Americans basic economic security. Nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of America's progress or our people. That's what the Affordable Care Act represents."
The president's remarks followed an unprecedented flurry of good news this week for the law and its supporters. Enrollment beat the Congressional Budget Office's original projection, which had been revised down after HealthCare.gov website flopped in the fall. The Los Angeles Times estimated that 9.5 million previously uninsured people had been covered. A Washington Post-ABC News poll found that support for Obamacare broke even for the first time.
...
"This law is doing what it's supposed to do. It's working. It's helping people from coast to coast. All of which makes the lengths to which critics have gone to scare people, or undermine the law, or repeal the law... so hard to understand," Obama said. "I don't get it. Why are folks working so hard for people not to have health insurance? Why are they so mad about the idea of folks having health insurance?"

Faux didn't edit this? You can run, but you can't hide from the future! BOOM! SHAKALAKA!!!! BOOM!
Following with comments, gratuitous pictures and links. Enjoy, if will:

Relaying the story of a woman with cancer was fitting since he lost his mom to that disease, and wanted better for other women:
"I remember my mother."

Obama mentions Planned Parenthood, which he has been a firm supporter of it against the stunts of Rand Paul, the most vocal on cutting funding and trying to force personhood bills in budgets on the nation as a whole.
There are good reasons he is called the First Feminist President:

He spoke for America here:
"In the end, history is not kind to those who deny Americans basic economic security. Nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of America's progress or our people. That's what the Affordable Care Act represents."
That is the change we hoped for and received. Single payer is in the ACA for 2017, to which he alludes about simplifying in the speech. We are moving ahead. I won't go into the numerous talks I am having with all kinds of health providers and patients, and those who work to keep safe the poor, elderly and disabled, who have been breathing and sleeping better since the ACA passed.
As to his comments about medical bankruptcies and losing one's home, I can witness to that and the feeling of feeling valued as a human being again. When one has lost, and lost big time despite having health insurance and 'doing all the right things,' to the schemes the for-profits have foisted on us for so long, I know Obama's heart is with the people of this country. Those who have never been tested in that way, may never need to get a plan through the ACA, but their lives will be better too.
Thanks, SunsetDreams, for this thread!
I couldn't believe that there was an FULL video from Faux news of all places. That must have killed them to cover the whole thing.
Thank you for the links and graphics. I'm so sorry that you had to file medical bankruptcy and lost your home. That is horrible! It's just not right! No one should have to worry about keeping a roof over their head or paying bills when they or their family member gets sick. I'm so thankful that the ACA, while not perfect, makes it better.
