Obama's return to the White House after a 5-year absence

Source: Washington Post

Today, former president Barack Obama returns to the White House for the first time since moving out in early 2017 to make way for the arrival of Donald Trump.
Obama’s appearance, steeped in political theater, comes as Democrats are looking for a spark heading into the midterm elections. But there’s also some substance here:

Obama will join President Biden in the Rose Garden for an announcement expanding access to coverage under the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature health-care law signed in 2010.

*1:30 p.m. Eastern: Biden and Obama deliver remarks on fixing the “family glitch” in the Affordable Care Act. Watch live coverage here.
*3:30 p.m. Eastern: White House press secretary Jen Psaki provides a briefing. Watch live coverage here.

But how about we fix all the "glitches" by just providing Universal Health Care for all?

The original Obamacare policy was complete until the R's chopped it to pieces & this move from Biden Admin aims to begin righting those wrongs.

Let's hope every vote the recorrections may need to advance is met with a YES, rather than a 'hold your nose', in protest.
