Barack Obama Releases Self-Mocking Video Promoting ACA Insurance Enrollments Before Dec. 15 Deadline

On Monday, Obama released a short video clip reminding viewers that the deadline to sign up for 2019 insurance coverage is Friday, December 15th

TRANSCRIPT:

OBAMA: "Hi everybody. Well, it is that time of year again. The time my team tries to get me to reference some viral trend or otherwise make a fool out of myself in the name of encouraging more young people to sign up for health insurance. But not this year. You know why? Because this year is different. Young people have stepped up like never before on campuses, at the voting booth, and at the doors of power. And frankly, I think you've proven that you don't need to see me taking jump shots or sitting between a couple of forest plants in order to know it's important to have health insurance in case, God forbid, you get really sick or hurt yourself next year. So this year, I'm giving it to you straight. Sign up for health insurance at HealthCare.gov before the deadline on December 15th. You can do it right now. And most folks can find coverage for $50 to $100 per month. That's probably less than your cell phone bill. One more time: If you need health insurance for 2019 sign up for it right now at HealthCare.gov. And that's how   it's done. You've got a filter on me, don't you?"
