This is getting so pathetic, Im almost embarrassed for the Obama administration... I said, almost... A top of advisor to President Barack Obama is in Los Angeles to try to get Obamacare written into scripts of TV shows and movies. Valerie Jarrett explained in an appearance on Top That! on PopSugar: Thats the cool thing, a host said to the presidential advisor. Youve been reaching out to people that are, you know, outside of the norm of what the president might work with. Who else are you working with? Like celebrities, personalities, things like that? You name it, said Jarrett. Thats part of why Im in L.A. Im meeting with writers of various TV shows and movies to try to get it into the scripts. When Jarrett says it into the scripts, shes referring to getting references to Obamacare, the presidents signature legislation, into the scripts of TV shows and movies. She continued: Were talking to celebrities. Were talking to athletes, because obviously they get injured a lot and many of them are the same age as the market were going after. And what they can say is, Look, you never know when life is going to throw you a curve ball. Youre walking down the street, youre a little clumsy, you trip, you fall -- where do you end up? Emergency room. A couple grand just to walk in the door. Right, said the host. Who can afford that? asked Jarrett. Nobody, said a host. Jarrett would explain that mothers are really good at nagging -- which is why mothers have been promoting the health care bill. What do moms do? asked Jarrett. We try to take care of our children. Even when theyre grown. And what we want to do here is like nag. Were really good at nagging. Im a mom so I know. Im a really good nag. And I can come at the same issue like 20 different ways until my daughter goes, Ok, Im cool, Ill just do it. And so, what could be more important as a parent than making sure that our children have the insurance they need, said Jarrett.
