Simple up or down vote on keeping the government open with no partisan stripes attachestrings attached, it would have kept the American People government open and operating. We may not know the full impact of the shutdown forfor some time. We do know a couple of things. We know the last time the republican shut down the government and hurt our economy. Unlike 1996 our country is still recovering from the worst recession in generations. We know that Certain Services and benefits that Business Owners depend on most people on hold. Sort and offices along with every National Park and monument must be closed. Last night i signed legislation to make sure or 1. 4 million active duty military are paid through the shutdown, hundreds of thousands of civilian workers many are still on the jump, many forced to stay home are not being paid. Even if they have families to support and local businesses that rely on them. We know that the longer the shutdown continues, the worst the effects will be. More families will be hurt and more businesses will be harmed. And i urge House Republicans to reopen the government. Allow the Public Servants who have been sent home to return to work. It is only going to happen when republicans realize they cannot get to hold the entire country hostage over ideological demands. Im prepared to work with democrats and republicans to do the things that we need to do. Although i should add this shutdown is not about deficits. Our deficits are falling at the fastest pace in 50 years. Weve got them in half since i took office. The shutdown is about rolling back our efforts to provide Health Insurance to folks who do not have it. It is all but rolling back the Affordable Care act. This more than anything else seems to be what the Republican Party stands for these days. I know it is strange that one party would make keeping people uninsured the centerpiece of their agenda but that apparently is what it is. What is more strange as that shutting down our government did not even accomplish their stated goal. The Affordable Care act as a law that passed the house, the senate, the Supreme Court ruled a constitutional. The central issue in last years election. It is here to stay. Because of its Funding Sources and is not impacted by a Government Shutdown. These americans are here with me today because even though the government is close, a big part of the Affordable Care act is open for business. For them and millions like them, it is a historic day for good reason. It has been a long time coming. To the americans and of the force to go without insurance cannot visit the web site and enroll in affordable plans. That starts today. People have six months to sign up. Over the six months people are going to have the opportunity in many cases for the first time in their lives to get affordable coverage that they desperately need. If youre one of the 85 percent of americans who already have Health Insurance you do not need to do a thing. For the 15 percent of americans who now have Health Insurance this opportunity as life changing. A few years ago she left her job in new york to take care for parents. For a while she had temporary insurance that covered her multiple sclerosis. When it expired many insurers would not cover her. She ended up paying 1,200 a month. That is nowhere near affordable. Starting today she can get coverage for much less. Todays new plan cannot use your medical history to charge of more than anybody else. Sky high premiums once forced nancy to choose between paying her rent and pay and Health Insurance. She pays all of her medical bills out of pocket and put some on theiher credit card. Starting today she could get covered just like everybody else. She was laid off from her job year ago today. Six months she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Cannot and ford insurance lucretias not receive treatment yet. Her daughter is considering dropping out of school to help pay her mothers bills. Starting today thanks to the Affordable Care act she can get covered without forcing her daughter to give up on their dreams. The storestories of hard working americans that sound familiar to you. You and your friends and family and coworkers to get cover to. You can compare it Insurance Plan side byside this family would shop for a plane ticket. You will be presented with a list of quality affordable plans that are available in your area. Youll find more choices, more competition and in many cases lower prices. Most uninsured americans will find they can get coverage for 100 or less. Do not take my word for. Co on the web site. Show it to your family and friends. Help them get covered. There is a hot line or you can apply it over the phone. You can get help with the application. Get questions you have answered by real people and 150 different languages. When it hundred 3182596. 1803182596. We can get America Covered once and for all. So that the struggles that these folks have gone through and millions have gone to a four years finally get addressed. Let me remind people that think this is so important. I heard a striking statistic yesterday. If you cancel your 70 percent more likely to live another five years if you have insurance then if you dont. Think about that. That is what it means to have Health Insurance. Set aside the issues of security and finances and how your impacted by that. This is life or death. Tens of thousands of americans die each year just because they do not have Health Insurance. Millions more live with the fear they will go broke if they get sick. Today we begin to free millions of our millionfellow americans from the fear. Already millions of young adults have been able to state on theistay on their parents plans. Already seniors of gotten a discount on medicine. It means more choice, more competition, lower costs for millions of americans. It does not just an Economic Security for our families. Were finally addressing the biggest troubles of our long term deficit. It means a stronger economy. Most republicans have made a bunch of predictions that have not come true. Cost has not skyrocketed. Theyre growing at the slowest rate. The last three years since i signed the Affordable Care act are the three slowest rates of Health Spending growth on record. Contrary to republican claims, as has not destroyed our economy. Businesses have credit 7. 5 million new jobs. We learned our manufacturers are growing at the fastest rate in 2. 5 years. The factory and the Affordable Care act, they do not think it is a problem. The constant series of crises and the unwillingness to pass their reasonable budget but a fraction of the Republican Party. Like every new law, theyre going to be glitches in the sign up process. Along the way that we will fix. Ive been saying this from the start. We found out that there have been times this morning were the site has been running more slowly than it normally will. The reason is because more than 1 Million People visited the web site before 7 00 a. M. There were five times more users in the marketplace this morning than had ever been on medicare. Gov at one time. And gives you a sense of how important this is to millions of americans around the country. That is a good thing. We are going to be speeding things up to handle all of the demand that exceeds anything that we had expected. Consider that just a couple of weeks ago apple rolled out to mobile operating systems. Within days they found a calypso a fixed it. I do not remember anyone insisting apple to stop selling iphone or ipad. That is not how we do things. We do not actively route for failure. We get to work, we make things better. We keep going. In that context i will work with anybody who has a serious idea to make the Affordable Care act work better. As long as im president i will not give into reckless demands by some of the Republican Party that the ninth Affordable HealthCare Insurance to millions of hard working americans. Republicans in congress should know that the study americans that you would her if youre allowed to dismantle the wall. Law. And finally have the ability for security. The notion that you would make a condition for reopening the government to make sure these folks do not have health care. That does not make any sense. It does not make any sense. Let me make one closing point. The republican shut down part in our economy. Britains part of our economy. The timing is not good. A lot of the republicans in the house ran for office two years ago promising to shut down the government. Apparently they have gotten their wish. The irony that the House Republicans have to contend with is that they have shut down a bunch of parts of the government but the Affordable Care act is still open for business. This might be why you have Many Republican governors and senators were telling the extreme right to knock it off. Pass a budget. Move on. I want to underscore the fact that congress does not have to end their shot down and reopen the government. They generally have to stop governing by crisis. I have to break this habit. That is a drag on the economy. It is not worth a of this country. One of the most important Things Congress has to do in the next couple of weeks is to raise what is called the debt ceiling. It is important to understand what this is. Thi is a routine vote. They have taken this vote 45 times to raise the debt ceiling since Ronald Reagan took office. It does not cost taxpayers a single dime. All it does is authorized the treasury to pay the bills on what congress has already spent. Think about that. If you buy a car and you have a car know, you do not save money by not paying your car know. Note. If you buy a house you do not save money by not authorizing yourself to pay the mortgage. Youre just going to get foreclosed on. That is what this is about. This is not a concession to me. It is not an unreasonable demand. This is what congress is supposed to do as a routine matter. They should not wait until last minute. The last time republicans threatened as course of action in 2011 our economy staggered. Our Credit Rating was downgraded for the first time. If they go through with at this time and forced the United States to the fall on the obligations for the first time in history, it would be far more dangerous than a Government Shutdown. There would be an economic shot down. I will speak more on this in the coming days. Let me repeat, i will not negotiate over congresss responsibility to pay bills that are already racked up. I will not allow anybody to track the good name of the United States through the mud just to extract ideological demands. Nobody gets to hurt our economy and hardworking families over a law that you do not like. A whole bunch of things that i would like to see passed through congress that House Republicans have now passed yet. Im not out there saying, im going to let america the fall unless congress does something they do not want to do. That does not help adults operate. Certainly that is not our government should operate. That is true whether there is a democrat and his office or a republican in this office. It does not matter whether it is a Democratic House of representatives or republican controlled house of representatives. Seven rules that everybody abides by because we do not want to hurt other people just because we have a political disagreement. My basic message to congress, pass a budget and government shut down. Pay your bills. Do not wait. Do not delay. Do not put our economy or people through this any longer. I am more than happy to work with them on all kinds of issues. I want to get back to work on a ththe things American People sent us here to work on. We are better than this. The American People are a lot better than this. What we have accomplished proves that even when the obstacles are many who we are and always will be a country that can do great things together. Thank you very much. Cub bless you. Gtod bless you. You have been listening to a live News Conference talking very briefly about the government shut down. How ending the shutdown would prevent economic shut down. Very critical of the republicans. In that criticism really no call to action to the American People. No real idea about ending the stalemate. The government might be shut down but the Affordable Care act is up and running. He called that a historic day. Millions of americans consider signing up for coverage. Can start signing up. You heard the president talk about how the government with such receive five times as much traffic this morning as they had anticipated. In illinois the governor picked off a program of debt covered in illinois here with a room full of physicians and nurses and health care providers.

We know that the vast majority of heart attacks and strokes can actually be prevented if we know our number again with our doctors and create a prevention plan. Thankfully today with access to Health Insurance for those millions of illinois and were going to see more people can get with their doctors and prevent countless jokes. Strokes. Covering cholesterol screenings. Who should and wilenroll . We have another one we will tell you about. More than 1 million uninsured people in illinois. Those include young people who can assume that they will be covered. Employees. People who lost coverage for any reason. People with pre existing conditions and then denied coverage in the past. People of not been able to afford coverage. In illinois there is a bronze, silver, gold, platinum plan. We can go there and look at these plans and decide which one of these plans best fits your needs. You might pay higher deductibles and pay cheaper Monthly Payments. He might have higher Monthly Payments and pay is cheaper deductible. Out of the different plans that are available you can choose the one and types of plans that fit you and your family a good way to do it wgntv.
