White House: Obama won't fight Obamacare repeal after Jan. 20

President Obama won’t continue to fight against Republican attempts to repeal his signature legislative achievement once he leaves office on Jan. 20, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Friday.

“The president will be a private citizen on Jan. 20. He will be a private citizen with deeply-held views about the most effective way to reform the healthcare system of the United States,” Earnest said. “You could certainly expect the president to follow these developments closely and continue to be thinking about how these kinds of reforms should work.”
