A while back I signed up to be on the White House list serve. I never have done this before, not under Clinton and would never have under Bush...no no. But for Barack Obama, I will read and follow the updates from the White House. I have to say, they are pretty good and keep me informed of what is going on.

Tonight, I got an email titled "Got a few minutes?" and it is David Axelrod. It links into a video by Obama and it is 4 minutes on the new health plan. Essentially it is the President's speech in a nutshell.

Here is the link:

I really like the way they are doing things and I watched this video presentation with interest.

Sharing it here and keeping you in the loop. Let's go America. Let's get our health care program going.

The details the President outlines in this video are those that every American needs to know. No matter your political party or whether or not you have insurance, his plan for health care security and stability matters to all of us.

Millions of American citizens cannot get health insurance — and 14,000 are losing their insurance every day. If we do nothing, half of Americans under the age of 65 will lose their health insurance at some point in the next ten years.

That’s not right. Plain and simple. For Americans with insurance as well as those without it, inaction is not an option. In America, no one should go broke because they get sick.

Bottom line — health insurance reform will provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance, coverage for those who don’t, and will lower the cost of health care for our families, our businesses, and our government.

As the President says, now is the time to deliver the change we need on health care. Forward this email and make sure your family, friends and social networks take four minutes and watch this video.

Thank you,
David
