Obama releases video urging people to sign up for ObamaCare

Source: The Hill




Former President Obama released a video urging people to sign up for ObamaCare as a new enrollment period — the first under a new president — begins on Wednesday. In the video, Obama said today is the first day to "get covered for 2018."

"You can shop for a health insurance plan that's right for you and your family," Obama said. "It only takes a few minutes and the vast majority of people qualify for financial assistance."




Obama said eight in 10 people this year can find plans for $75 a month or less.

"That's cheaper than a lot of cell phone plans. And thanks to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies can no longer charge you more just for being a woman, or for having a pre-existing condition," he said.

I get a silver plan at a very affordable rate. The guy I used to work for is now retired, republican, 60 years old and a tRump supporter. He told me he pays over $1200 a month for a bronze plan that pays for virtually nothing.
I think there was some form of cosmic retribution in this plan all along.
