Obama defends his failed polices

NY Times:

Obama Delivers Defense of His Policy Efforts

President Obama wrapped up a three-day fund-raising swing with an emotional defense of his efforts to make higher education more affordable and to expand access to health care

What has he done to make higher ed more affordable?  Other than push for lower rates on loans, I can't think of a thing he has done and lower rates only exasperate the problem, because it allows the higher ed administrators to keep making predatory loans to unsophisticated borrowers to sustain the one percent lifestyle of the education elites while dumping unsustainable burdens on students.  Obama is just feeding the beast rather than taming it.

As for expanding access to health care, access is not the main problem.  As the times points out in this story: 

Too Much Medical Care?

 The United States spends an estimated $210 billion annually on unnecessary medical services. For patients, this often means getting pulled into a cycle of repeated lab work, scans and other medical tests.

It is a problem caused by defensive medicine that is a result of the failure to pass tort reform on a national level.  Democrats rely too heavily on plaintiff tort lawyers to allow meaningful reform and did not even try in their Obamacare monstrosity.
