Shaheens letter today and support the common sense idea to extend the date for open enrollment. Ibelieve, given the technical issues, it makes sense to extend the time for people to sign up. In additionthe Administration should state clearly how the enforcement mechanism will work if people cant signup in time. We all want to see the law work, and I hope the Administration will take a hard look atthis reasonable suggestion. (Sen.

we have a Democratic governor, Republican legislature. They came together in a bipartisan way dothe Medicaid expansion in our state using private insurance. They call it the private option. TODD:What do you say to the fairness argument that big business gets a delay but individuals don't? SEN.PRYOR: In my state we're about to have maybe as many as 500,000 people either through theexchanges or through the Medicaid expansion, and by the way that's one-sixth of our state populationOne out of six people could have private insurance come January.(MSNBCs The Daily Rundown, 10/15/13)

On December 24, 2009, Hagan Issued A Press Release Praising The Senates Passage OfObamaCare.

The bill reduces the waste, fraud and abuse that currently exists in thedelivery of care, and it will save our country money by decreasing the mounting federal deficit. As we

move forward, I will continue working to ensure that North Carolina's families, seniors and smallbusinesses have a seat at the table.(Sen. Kay Hagan, Hagan: Health Care Bill Will Benefit North Carolina Families, Seniors AndSmall Businesses; Will Reduce The Deficit,Press Release, 12/24/09)

On August 27, 2013, Hagan Said There Are A Lot Of Positives For Small Businesses InObamaCare When The Exchanges Come Online.HAGAN: First I want to ask the question,how large is your small business? If its fifty employees or less, the new Affordable Care Act doesntapply to you at all. So thats off the equation. But what does benefit a small business is once the newhealthcare exchanges come on line, and come on the market, coming in October of this year, smallbusiness will be able to purchase health insurance just like large businesses do. Theyll be givenoptions. And some small businesses will actually be eligible for tax credits and for funding to helpthem purchase that health insurance. So I think theres a lot of positives here that I want to encourage

small businesses to reach out to my office and we can certainly help with information. (Kay Hagan,WCCBInterview, 8/27/13)

So I think thats the kindof tweaking that needed to be done. (CNBCs Squawk Box, 2/4/11)
