Hello everyone this is ░░░░░░░░ Biden I want to ░░░░░░░░ you all a Happy ░░░░░░░░ Year I know this ░░░░░░░░ the time of year ░░░░░░░░ we make resolutions to ░░░░░░░░ care of our health ░░░░░░░░ it s

through the Affordable Care ░░░░░░░░ Because of that law ░░░░░░░░ to quality health care ░░░░░░░░ improving Last year almost ░░░░░░░░ million people signed up ░░░░░░░░ health care coverage under ░░░░░░░░ new law and paid ░░░░░░░░ premiums And in many ░░░░░░░░ the cost of health ░░░░░░░░ is less than the ░░░░░░░░ of your cell phone ░░░░░░░░ your cable bill In ░░░░░░░░ millions more are getting ░░░░░░░░ care that they need ░░░░░░░░ Medicaid that they weren ░░░░░░░░ getting before And because ░░░░░░░░ the new law people ░░░░░░░░ already had health insurance ░░░░░░░░ also benefitting from additional ░░░░░░░░ For example their insurance ░░░░░░░░ can t deny them ░░░░░░░░ because of pre existing ░░░░░░░░ like asthma or diabetes ░░░░░░░░ they re able to ░░░░░░░░ for free preventive services ░░░░░░░░ mammograms or blood pressure ░░░░░░░░ that their doctors ordered ░░░░░░░░ them saving them a ░░░░░░░░ of money Everyone is ░░░░░░░░ to realize what millions ░░░░░░░░ you already know the ░░░░░░░░ Care Act is working ░░░░░░░░ we re just getting ░░░░░░░░ Because there are millions ░░░░░░░░ of you who can ░░░░░░░░ quality affordable health care ░░░░░░░░ you sign up before ░░░░░░░░ 15th of this year ░░░░░░░░ s now through February ░░░░░░░░ Now if you don ░░░░░░░░ have insurance you can ░░░░░░░░ to HealthCare gov where ░░░░░░░░ ll find a menu ░░░░░░░░ a bunch of different ░░░░░░░░ and what each plan ░░░░░░░░ and how much each ░░░░░░░░ costs All you have ░░░░░░░░ do is just pick ░░░░░░░░ The best one that ░░░░░░░░ your family s health ░░░░░░░░ needs and your family ░░░░░░░░ budget If you don ░░░░░░░░ want to go to ░░░░░░░░ gov and you want ░░░░░░░░ talk to somebody on ░░░░░░░░ phone instead you can ░░░░░░░░ I m going to ░░░░░░░░ you the number now ░░░░░░░░ can call 1 800 ░░░░░░░░ 2596 From this moment ░░░░░░░░ you can call any ░░░░░░░░ of the day any ░░░░░░░░ of the week Phone ░░░░░░░░ are open 24 hours ░░░░░░░░ day 7 days a ░░░░░░░░ And for folks listening ░░░░░░░░ whose family and friends ░░░░░░░░ not speak English let ░░░░░░░░ know that there are ░░░░░░░░ available in over 150 ░░░░░░░░ to guide them through ░░░░░░░░ process And if you ░░░░░░░░ not comfortable going online ░░░░░░░░ speaking on the phone ░░░░░░░░ you want to sit ░░░░░░░░ with an individual to ░░░░░░░░ you through this you ░░░░░░░░ find out where to ░░░░░░░░ as well Because in ░░░░░░░░ community at local libraries ░░░░░░░░ community health centers people ░░░░░░░░ there to help All ░░░░░░░░ have to do is ░░░░░░░░ on HealthCare gov type ░░░░░░░░ where you live and ░░░░░░░░ can find out exactly ░░░░░░░░ to go to sit ░░░░░░░░ with a person who ░░░░░░░░ help you walk through ░░░░░░░░ process But here s ░░░░░░░░ really important point I ░░░░░░░░ to make If you ░░░░░░░░ t sign up by ░░░░░░░░ 15th of this year ░░░░░░░░ only a very few ░░░░░░░░ if you don t ░░░░░░░░ up by the 15th ░░░░░░░░ this year you re ░░░░░░░░ to have to wait ░░░░░░░░ 2016 to get health ░░░░░░░░ through the Affordable Care ░░░░░░░░ And even those of ░░░░░░░░ who already have health ░░░░░░░░ through the Affordable Care ░░░░░░░░ you can also go ░░░░░░░░ HealthCare gov to find ░░░░░░░░ plan that might offer ░░░░░░░░ benefits or be more ░░░░░░░░ in price for you ░░░░░░░░ might even qualify for ░░░░░░░░ help paying for the ░░░░░░░░ you choose because your ░░░░░░░░ isn t what it ░░░░░░░░ last year Now I ░░░░░░░░ sure some of you ░░░░░░░░ heard from your friends ░░░░░░░░ neighbors who ve signed ░░░░░░░░ for health insurance under ░░░░░░░░ Affordable Care Act what ░░░░░░░░ hear all around the ░░░░░░░░ I hear it provides ░░░░░░░░ of mind that someone ░░░░░░░░ love will be covered ░░░░░░░░ God forbid something happens ░░░░░░░░ provides security so if ░░░░░░░░ have a bad strain ░░░░░░░░ your ankle or your ░░░░░░░░ and you don t ░░░░░░░░ the money to get ░░░░░░░░ you can now get ░░░░░░░░ treatment rather than wait ░░░░░░░░ it off and end ░░░░░░░░ with a chronic condition ░░░░░░░░ it provides a lot ░░░░░░░░ freedom and choice and ░░░░░░░░ so you can switch ░░░░░░░░ or move to another ░░░░░░░░ without the fear that ░░░░░░░░ ll lose out on ░░░░░░░░ health insurance with the ░░░░░░░░ you now have it ░░░░░░░░ And what I m ░░░░░░░░ most is how pleased ░░░░░░░░ excited people are about ░░░░░░░░ affordable it is An ░░░░░░░░ lot of people who ░░░░░░░░ t think they could ░░░░░░░░ would find quality affordable ░░░░░░░░ insurance are actually able ░░░░░░░░ get assistance from the ░░░░░░░░ to help them pay ░░░░░░░░ their health care plans ░░░░░░░░ a cheaper rate Let ░░░░░░░░ give you an example ░░░░░░░░ family of four with ░░░░░░░░ income of around 95 ░░░░░░░░ they can still get ░░░░░░░░ subsidy to lower their ░░░░░░░░ care premiums But maybe ░░░░░░░░ importantly what I hear ░░░░░░░░ that we have finally ░░░░░░░░ the debate in this ░░░░░░░░ of whether or not ░░░░░░░░ insurance is a right ░░░░░░░░ a privilege We think ░░░░░░░░ in America has a ░░░░░░░░ to have adequate health ░░░░░░░░ insurance And the Affordable ░░░░░░░░ Act gives them that ░░░░░░░░ So sign up And ░░░░░░░░ the word Protect your ░░░░░░░░ not only for your ░░░░░░░░ but for the sake ░░░░░░░░ your families Thanks for ░░░░░░░░ and Jill and I ░░░░░░░░ you again a happy ░░░░░░░░ healthy New Year God ░░░░░░░░ you and may God ░░░░░░░░ our troops.
