Because many women in the group know first-hand why having the
security of health insurance is so important, they’ve been working
tirelessly to make sure that everybody in America is able to get
high-quality health care coverage that provides them with financial
protection and looks after them when they get sick.
“I think this conversation really drove home in a very personal way
why this is important,” President Obama said. “Sometimes here in
Washington, this is a very abstract conversation or an entirely
political conversation. But when you boil it down to stories and people
hear what it means to have the security of solid health insurance at an
affordable price when you need it, it reminds me at least of why we've
been fighting so hard to get this done.”
First Lady Michelle Obama said that she’s involved with this issue “because I’m a mom.”
…It’s our job as mothers to make sure that our
young people are informed about their “invincibility,” to make sure that
other moms and families out there really understand what this law
provides and that they can take advantage of it. This is the beauty of
it. People have choices. They can go on to the website; they can talk to
a navigator; they can learn for themselves what the law means and what
it doesn’t mean. And that's really, really what we want people to do, is
educate yourselves. Get that education. Make the choice that's best for
your family, because the options are there.
The First Lady thanked everyone for their hard work getting the word out.
“We urge everyone out there who has a story to share it,” she
said “And we urge people to reach out. And if they’ve signed up their
child, then sign up their friends. If you’ve got grandkids, make it a
Christmas treat around the table to talk about a little health care.
Ring in the New Year with new coverage.“
