The genesis of health care reform was to focus on three objectives: Expand access to coverage and services for more Americans; improve the overall quality and outcomes of care; and lower health care costs.

It’s about more than enrollment figures and websites.
Remember when web sites linking to things was going to bring down the Republic?
