Obama: Health Care Law is here to stay

MAUMEE, Ohio – At his first campaign event since the Supreme Court upheld his health-care law, President Barack Obama bragged about the victory to supporters in this battleground state even as he tweaked his usual stump-speech message to appeal to independent voters.

Mr. Obama vowed to “work with anybody who wants to work with me” to improve upon his health-care law, which many Americans still dislike.

“But the law I passed is here to stay,” Mr. Obama said, drawing cheers from the crowd in a manufacturing town outside of Toledo.

A lot of people are saying this can be used as a first step towards single payer. Let's put that hypothesis to the test one day soon.
