Still Sitting on the Fence #GetCovered Conversation with Dr. Joycelyn Elders

My Sister called to say that there is this #Get Cover, Stay Covered telephone conversation out there with Joycelyn Elders.  She said you know Dr. Elders is the 15th U.S. Surgeon General.  My sister said I should listen to that conversation because I am one of those who still have not gotten around to getting health care insurance.   So, guess what, I am going to do myself and Sister a favor and click here to listen to that Dr. Joycelyn Elders.  Still sitting on the fence, hey, you can listen with me.   http://youtu.be/r_39TU_furc

Hey, Sister is always saying anybody can get sick or hurt.  She said who would have thought that people would be getting measles now, well, certainly not me or my sister.  My sister said Dr. Elders talks about all that stuff and about paying bills, getting screenings, getting help to help pay for coverage, protecting your health. There is financial help for those who qualify. They say the enrollment deadline is February 15, that is really right around the corner. My sister is getting really nervous for me.   She said to sign up go to healthcare.gov or call 1-800-318- 2596.That Dr. Elders sounds like she could be my mother, my grandmother and yes, my sister “all in one”, or somebody’s friend.

Well, what I didn’t tell my sister is that I tripped and nearly fell down the stairs last night over those other new shoes that I brought last week.  While I grabbed the rail, I did hurt my arm.  But, I am not telling my sister.  Because, a few days before that Sister said I should give myself health care coverage for Valentine’s Day.  Well, I am not that bad; she doesn’t have to bait me and I don’t have to trick myself.  I know how to make good decisions just like my sister does.
