Obamacare success stories redux

Jim -- We all have that one relative -- we won't name names -- who just loves to argue about politics. It's like clockwork -- every year, the same conversations. And you just know that health care is going to come up this year -- this time, make sure you're ready. There's a lot of good news on our side. So here's an extra large serving of truth, in the form of must-read Obamacare success stories from news outlets across the country. Check them out and pass them along: -- Got a relative railing about health care costs? Well, according to The New York Times piece, thanks in part to Obamacare and its cost-control measures, "the slowdown in health care costs has been dramatic." Not only that -- according to the Times, the biggest savings might be yet to come. (Share on Facebook | Share on Twitter) -- Here's a great round-up of a few success stories from the Los Angeles Times your relative probably missed, including this great quote from a new enrollee, "If not for the Affordable Care Act, our ability to get insurance would be very limited, if we could get it at all." (Share on Facebook | Share on Twitter) -- A personal enrollment story featured in The Huffington Post from a self-employed blogger, including how much he loves his new coverage, and what he thinks about the push-back from his conservative friends. (Share on Facebook | Share on Twitter) -- A great story from a recent health care enrollee in North Carolina featured in the Raleigh News & Observer -- and how easy it was for her to sign up. (Share on Facebook | Share on Twitter) If you have a good talk about health care this holiday season, be sure to share your story with us -- funny, inspiring, or even challenging, we'd love to hear how your conversations are going. Last, but certainly not least -- I want to say thank you for being such a champion for health care this year. You've been critical in helping get the good word out about Obamacare -- and supporters like you will be all I'm talking about with my family this holiday season. You are inspiring. And you're why I know that no matter what special interests throw at us, they won't beat what we've got. Have a healthy, relaxing holiday -- don't worry, there's more truth coming soon.
