(REUTERS) Former U.S. President Barack Obama expressed his “fervent hope” on Sunday that members of Congress would look beyond party lines when considering the future of the country’s healthcare system.
The Democrat’s remarks at a ceremony in Boston where he accepted the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation’s “Profile in Courage” Award came days after the Republican-controlled House of Representatives narrowly passed a bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, the 2010 law that enabled 20 million more Americans to get health insurance.
