Former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday criticized the press for its coverage of ObamaCare.

Speaking during a lecture at Georgetown University, Clinton accused media outlets of ignoring facts in favor of their own preferred narrative.

“One of the problems is if the policy maker is a political leader and is covered primarily by the political press, there is a craving that borders on addictive to have a story line,” he said. “And once people settle on the story line, there is a craving that borders on blindness to shoehorn every development, everything that happens, into the story line even if that is not the story.”

Clinton said the strongest evidence of that came in the debate about the Affordable Care Act.

“I have felt that most intentionally in the development, the passage and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act,” he said. “But I also feel it in many other areas as well.”

Defending President Obama’s healthcare law, Clinton said policymaking, for a variety of reasons, tends to be “dimly understood, often distrusted and disconnected from the consequences of the policies being implemented.”
