When a smartphone, or a law in this case, has a “few bugs,” Obama said, Â you fix it or upgrade it.
“Unless it catches fire. Then you pull it off the market,” he said.
“But you don’t go back to using a rotary phone. You don’t say ‘Well, we’re repealing smartphones. We’re just gonna do the dial-up thing.’ That’s not what you do,” he added.

Obama defended the policy and his actions on health care reform, firing back at those calling for a repeal of Obamacare.  “We’re not gonna go back to discriminating against Americans with pre-existing conditions,” he said.
