Former President Barack Obama is speaking at the University of Chicago – where he served as a lecturer at the Law School before going to Washington.
-- Former President Barack Obama was back in Chicago Wednesday – speaking at an event at the University of Chicago, where he once served as a lecturer at the Law School.
But after the Affordable Care Act passed, there ended up being some ultra-cheap insurance plans on the marketplace that did not provide any benefits when people actually got sick, and when people were up for renewal on those plans, the standard was they were not able to renew. Thus, they did not get to keep their doctors like Mr. Obama said they would.
The former president also spoke about the changes in how people get their news in small rural towns such as those in downstate Illinois where he once campaigned – with not just cable news, but also digital community newsletters replacing newspapers as a major source. As a result, Mr. Obama said he might have a harder time connecting to people in such areas if he were campaigning today.
