In an echo of Mitt Romney’s remark on Wednesday that they’re “not sleeping real well at the White House” in anticipation of the Supreme Court’s decision, the Obama campaign sent out a CNN interview Thursday featuring a woman outside the court describing how the law will let her sleep easier.
“With my children for example, my daughter is a graphic designer who works for a very small firm,” the woman says. “She is one pink slip away from no health insurance, but not after today. In 2014, we can sleep now, because we know she will be able to buy a policy and they won’t be able to charge her more and of course, the same is true now for our small group. We have a small group that covers my son who has Type I diabetes, and in our small group we pay $40,000 a year for four people, but in 2014, when community rating takes effect, we believe that our small group policy premiums will also go down, so this is more good news for people. “
