White House turns to star power for
ObamaCare boost

The White House is turning to local
politicians and celebrities Wednesday to promote the second day that uninsured
Americans can purchase coverage on the ObamaCare exchanges, following a launch
that featured intense interest — and serious technical
glitches.
According to the White House, community
leaders, artists and mayors will use the hashtag #GetCovered on social media to
promote the exchanges.
The administration has created a
centralized page where allies can download Twitter and Facebook icons and
backgrounds to spread the word about the law.
Celebrities including singer John Legend, rock band Pearl Jam, and actresses Alyssa Milano and Kerry Washington were among the
entertainers that had already used the hashtag to promote the
exchanges.
The campaign follows Tuesday's launch of
the health care exchanges, which saw many would-be applicants frustrated by
glitches and errors in the online enrollment
system.
