President Barack Obama took “full responsibility” for fixing the flawed U.S. health insurance exchange, while telling a Massachusetts audience that the state’s experience with its health-care law portends eventual success for the federal version.
Obama spoke in Boston as his 2010 health-care law is under sustained criticism from Republicans and on the same day that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius apologized at a House hearing for the “debacle” of the failed opening of the online exchange that’s a central part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
