WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama struck back forcefully Friday against Republican critics of his health-care law, saying "the unifying principle in the Republican Party at the moment is making sure 30 million people don't have health care."
At a news conference, the president said Republicans are not even offering an alternative to his Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which the GOP refers to as ObamaCare.
"Now, I think thereally interesting question is why it is that my friends in the other partyhave made the idea of preventing these people from getting health care theirholy grail," Obama said.
