First lady Michelle Obama not only wants Americans to consider signing up for Obamacare during their Thanksgiving get-togethers, she’s also offering tips on how to talk about it and wants feedback.
In a fundraising note to supporters that also cheered her husband’s economic and global warming efforts, the first lady urged supporters of the president’s grassroots group Organizing for Action to share their Obamacare experiences.
“The folks at OFA will be collecting some of your stories to share on BarackObama.com. I can’t wait to see what you have to say,” she wrote, adding: “P.S. — As you spend time with loved ones this holiday season, be sure to talk with them about what health reform can mean for them — OFA has some tips to help get the ball rolling.”
She even asked supporters to promise to talk about Obamacare. “Make a pledge to have a conversation with your family about health insurance this holiday season.”
