Obama Defends ACA In Relatively Brief Comments During SOTU

President Barack Obama gave his sixth State of the Union address Tuesday night, touching upon many issues he’d like to focus on this year, including economic disparity, immigration, and the ongoing war in Afghanistan. He spoke briefly about the Affordable Care Act as well, though coverage of this aspect of his speech was proportionately light: like Obama, none of the network news broadcasts or front-page stories about the address mention healthcare prominently.

Still, the President’s comments about the Affordable Care Act receive analysis in several outlets, many out of the beltway. These articles generally focus on how the President avoided mentioning the ACA’s troubled rollout, instead highlighting positive outcomes like increasing enrollment and criticizing Republicans for continuing to fight against the law.
