The White House has shifted from defense to offense on ObamaCare, adopting a much sharper tone with the media while chastising Republicans as wanting to revert to the troubled policies of the past.

It follows weeks in which the administration was accused of reacting passively, frustrating congressional Democrats worried ObamaCare will cost them their jobs in next year's midterms.
