I am going to make this short and sweet because that is what I am going to recommend to others. Running away from Obamacare in 2014 is nuts. The most extraordinary thing about Obamacare for me and middle class parents is parents get to keep their children on their insurance until they are 26. My child is graduating college this year. I will be able to keep him on my insurance. Unless you have a child in this age group it is hard to imagine what an amazing thing this is, how much pressure it takes off both me and my child. All I can think every time I get asked about my child's insurance for various reasons is thank God I can write down my policy number in that space they give me. It may be selfish, it may be short sited, I am a really big proponent of single payer. But more than once a month I say to myself Thank You Barack Obama. My guess is every parent with children in that range, and every adult child in that range thinks the same thing if it is pointed out to them.
Do not try and explain Obamacare and do not fall into the trap of defending it. Focus like a laser beam and say, "I am just really happy for parents who are able to keep their adult children on their insurance. We all say thank you Barack Obama.
What if they say Obamacare is a mess?
"Thank God parents are able to keep their adult children on their insurance. We are all thankful for that."
What if they say Obamacare can't be implemented?
"Thank God parents are able to keep their adult children on their insurance. We are all thankful for that."
What if they say Obamacare is a government takeover?
"Thank God parents are able to keep their adult children on their insurance. We are all thankful for that."
What if they say they want to repeal Obamacare?
"Thank God parents are able to keep their adult children on their insurance. We are all thankful for that. Do you really want to repeal that."
What if they say it could have been done better?
"Thank God parents are able to keep their adult children on their insurance. We are all thankful for that."
What if they say Obama is just a Kenyan socialist.
"Thank God parents are able to keep their adult children on their insurance. We are all thankful to our Kenyan socialist for that."
Over and over and over again. Any politician who does not do that is an idiot.
