As President Obama’s time in office winds down, you just knew it was coming:
This is the biggest bunch of spin/wishful thinking I've heard this cycle. Even Democrats know that #Obamacare is a disaster. #VoteThemOut https://t.co/RnjJdE9bIZ

Time for Obama and his administration to attempt to convince everybody not to believe their lying eyes (and cancellation notices):
Pres Obama will be making the case for his legacy health care program in a speech tomorrow in Miami.

Obama signed Obamacare into law over six years ago and he’s still trying to sell it? Obama has some help, too. Check out this alternate reality from HHS Secretary Burwell:
Today, 20M more Americans have coverage thanks to the #ACA. Our uninsured rate is the lowest in our nation’s history. Lowest. In. History.

The Marketplace is strong – and will continue to be strong – because it is offering a product people want and need.

Based on the best data, we project plan selections will grow by another million people this Open Enrollment.

The #ACA has helped us shape a tremendous future. Today, millions of Americans are better off. Let’s build on this historic progress.

There will be a lot of signups, eh?
You literally made it illegal to not have health insurance. Of course it is https://t.co/lpXqsWE5VX

That plus millions losing the policies they had and having to seek new plans will really pad the administration’s signup numbers.

Does Burwell pay for medical coverage? My premiums are up over 65% since ACA.

His legacy health care program is a disaster train-wreck and everyone hates it. but ok. setup to fail from day 1 we now know.

Perhaps he'll explain why I had to pay so much more for so much less so others could get crappy coverage too.@markknoller https://t.co/6luJrUEmd7

Oh, it's HIS legacy alright.

He can't possibly make a case for it. It's a disaster. https://t.co/f4zoqdcVQH

Most likely Obama’s “case” for Obamacare will be to complain that Republicans aren’t helping to “fix” the Dem-owned disaster.
