Barack Obama pitches for healthcare law in Texas
8 Nov 2013 4:50 AM IST
Beset by hard-to-keep promises and a massive website failure, President Barack Obama is promoting his embattled health care law in the state with the highest rate of uninsured Americans, which has also been politically hostile to the signature initiative of his presidency.
Obama was traveling to Dallas on Wednesday to encourage participation in the federal insurance marketplace set up by the law.
The trip to Texas comes a day after his administration tried to soothe anxious Democratic senators by reporting improvements in the troubled online enrollment system. Obama’s visit will also underscore the obstacles the law faces in Republican states.
