"When I talk about the Affordable Care Act, all the fighting that we've been having to do, it's not just a matter of dollars and cents and why it's good for the economy to make sure that people aren't going to the emergency rooms because that's the most expensive care, and why the only way we're going to lower healthcare costs over the long term is if we start delivering healthcare smarter," Obama said at a reception at the home of former Lakers star and entrepreneur Magic Johnson and his wife, Cookie. Later, Obama spoke at a dinner at the nearby home of entertainment mogul Haim Saban - all part of a two-day California visit, which started early Monday in San Francisco with fundraisers and one public event at which he pressed Congress to move forward with an immigration bill. The trip concludes Tuesday with a third Southern California fundraiser for Democrats and an entertainment industry appearance at Dreamworks Animation in Glendale, the firm run by longtime Obama fundraiser Jeffrey Katzenberg. Before the Monday night fundraisers, Obama met with relatives of TSA officer Gerardo Hernandez, who was killed in a shooting rampage at LAX on Nov. 1.
