Washington Post: Given the opportunity to write the history of his presidency -- an opportunity he will soon be afforded, much to his bank account's benefit -- President Obama will almost certainly highlight three things. First, of course, the fact the the Affordable Care Act provided health insurance to millions more Americans (with the percent of the country that lacks insurance just hitting a low of 9 percent.)
