White House forges on with ObamaCare signups despite GOP sweep

Written by Teunis Felter

The White House is urging people to sign up for coverage through ObamaCare, hours after the Republican electoral sweep that likely dooms the healthcare law’s future. Spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday the Obama administration remains committed to its enrollment drive, which opened Nov. 1. “There is no specific thing in mind that we’re going to do differently now,” Earnest said as he addressed reporters for the first time since President-elect Donald Trump declared victory. The fate of those healthcare plans is now in doubt after Trump’s stunning upset on Election Day. Senate Republicans also pulled off an unlikely victory, helping the GOP hold onto control of both chambers of Congress.
