While Trump is trying to destroy the healthcare system, former President Obama has released a video helping to promote ACA sign up.
Video:
No jump shots. No ferns. No memes. Not this time. I’m going to give it to you straight: If you need health insurance for 2019, the deadline to get covered is December 15. Go to https://t.co/ob1Ynoesod today and pass this on — you just might save a life. pic.twitter.com/8mHMsXGY0g

The video itself is great. In a time when Trump spreads nothing but darkness and division, it is fun to see a former president use humor to spread an important message. If Trump cared about the American people, he would be the one encouraging young people to sign up for coverage. If Trump really cared about the future of the country, he would be strengthening the system instead of trying to destroy it.
Barack Obama is out of office, but he is still showing that he cares about the American people, and acting more like a president than Trump is ever capable of being.
