Just 24 hours after\u00a0some California Democrats complained that President Obama\u2019s fundraising here\u00a0<\/a>is giving short shrift to key issues key issueslike the Affordable Care Act, the White House says the president will now discuss about the benefits of the Obamacare during his trip on Thursday. \u201cHe\u2019ll highlight the promising news that, despite dire predictions, early data on insurance competition and premiums in the state shows the ACA is creating quality, affordable choices for Californians who plan to buy insurance this fall.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCalifornia is the largest state with the biggest insurance market in the country and with nearly 6 million uninsured, the state is also a critical part of the effort to sign up Americans for insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n The President plans a fundraising trip to Northern California Thursday, where\u00a0he will appear at two events in Silicon Valley to benefit the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee<\/a>, with tickets ranging from $2,500 to $34,200 per person. This marks the president\u2019s 13th official trip to the region, all of them including fundraising stops.<\/p>\n The Chronicle<\/a>\u00a0on Monday reported that California Democrats like\u00a0veteran strategist Garry South<\/a>complained that the president \u2014 while returning here repeatedly to gather campaign checks \u2014 has failed to hold public events that highlight key issues like the implementation of Obamacare in California.<\/p>\n \u201cWe probably are further ahead in implementing Obamacare than any other state. \u2026 We\u2019re setting up the exchanges that many other states have resisted,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we have a Democratic governor and Democratic majorities in both legislative houses fully on board.\u201d<\/p>\n South noted that even as Obama arrives this week to pick up checks from donors, Covered California, the new marketplace and state exchange for health care services, is working to educate the public on the legislation\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n \u201cA president of the United States, in a public forum, can say a few words \u2013 and that\u2019s worth a lot more a than a few public service ads that no one will see,\u201d South said. \u201cHe could play a very useful role here in helping the state with more registered voters than there are people living in 46 of the other 49 states.\u201d<\/p>\n The White House said more details on Obama\u2019s statement will be released as they become available.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll continue to update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just 24 hours after\u00a0some California Democrats complained that President Obama\u2019s fundraising here\u00a0is giving short shrift to key issues key issueslike the Affordable Care Act, the White House says the president will now discuss about the benefits of the Obamacare during his trip on Thursday.
