nes ran on American operatingsystems. Today, more than 80 percent do. (Applause.) And, yes, we decided to fix abroken health care system. (Applause.) And itamp。rsquo。s interesting Iwas talking to some of the studio execs here, and I said, look, therollout of the new health caremarketplace was rough and nobody was morefrustrated about the problems with our websitethan I am. And yet, here in Southern California and hereacross this state, there are thousandsof people every single day who are gettinghealth care for the first time for the first time because of this. (Applause.) And, by the way, the website is continually working better, socheck itout. (Laughter.) But as a country, weamp。rsquo。re nowpoised to gain health coverage for millions of Americans,starting on January1st, and that includes more than 350,000 here in California who havealreadysigned up. And thanks in part to theAffordable Care Act, health care costs are growing atthe slowest rate in 50years. Employerbased health care costsare growing at about onethird therate of a decade ago. And that means that if the studios here oryour employers arenamp。rsquo。t havingto spend as much on health care, they can hiremore folks and reinvest more in the business,and e up with those cooltechnologies that I donamp。rsquo。t exactly understand how they work, but(laughter) were really neat to look at. (Laughter.) And, by the way, weamp。rsquo。ve done allthis while bringing down our deficits. (Applause.) After yearsoftrilliondollar deficits, we reined in spending. You would think sometimes listening to folksinWashington that we havenamp。rsquo。t made any progress on that front. We wound down two wars. Wechanged a tax code that was too skewedtowards the wealthiest Americans at the expense of themiddle class. You add it all up, weamp。rsquo。ve cut our deficits bymore than half, and they continue to godown faster than any time since WorldWar II. (Applause.) So all told, our businessescreated million new jobs over the past 44 months. Americahas gone farther, recovered fasterthan most other industrialized nations. But, as Mellody said,weamp。rsquo。ve got more work to do. The stock market is doing great, corporateprofits soaring, but toomany Americans arenamp。rsquo。t sharing in that success. And everybody here who works at DreamWorksa really good place to work. Iamp。rsquo。m goingto ask Jeff if maybe I can work here. (Applause.) But allof you havefriends and family and neighbors who arenamp。rsquo。t as lucky. And you know there are still alot of folkswho are struggling out there. And my top priority is making sure that thiscountryremains a country where everybody who is willing to work hard can getahead. And weamp。rsquo。d be a lot further alongwithout some of the dysfunction and obstruction weamp。rsquo。veseen in Washington. (Applause.) We would be a lot further along if we could just get folks to actwithsome sense (laughter) if we didnamp。rsquo。t have one wing of one party that was alittle lessobsessed with repealing health care for 40 million people, moreconcerned with making surethe law works. If they hadnamp。rsquo。t spent 40 votes trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act,theymight have actually taken some votes on rebuilding our infrastructure, orinstituting earlychildhood education for young people across this country, orinvesting more money in basicresearch that helps to create the amazingtechnologies that many of you utilize. Any of theserious proposals Iamp。rsquo。ve put forward that would be creatingjobs right now, they could have beentaking votes on that. Instead of rooting for failure,or refighting old battles, Republicans in Congress need to workwith us toimprove those things about the Affordable Care Act that arenamp。rsquo。t working as wellas theyshould, and implement policies to strengthen the middle class andcreate jobs. (Applause.) A couple of weeks ago, HouseRepublican leaders handed out a piece of paper to theirmembers and on the topit said, “。Agenda 2020.”。 Iamp。rs
