With open enrollment just days away, President Barack Obama turned once again to his predecessor to help promote the health care overhaul that will likely be the hallmark of his time in office.

President Obama discusses the political headwinds his administration has faced in offering universal healthcare to non-insured Americans.

During an informal discussion at a Clinton Global Initiative Forum in New York City, Obama and former President Bill Clinton focused mostly on the policy details of the law, with the current commander in chief warning that Republicans have tried to “scare” people into declining to get health care coverage.

“You’ve had is an unprecedented effort that you’ve seen ramp up in the past month or so that those who have opposed the idea of universal health care in the first place -- and have fought this thing tooth and nail through Congress and through the courts -- trying to scare and discourage people from getting a good deal,” Obama said.
