Pelosi: Sign up your valentine for ObamaCare

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) wants you to remember two important days this weekend: Valentine’s Day and the deadline to sign up for ObamaCare.

“As a nice Valentine’s Day gift, you can sign up for healthcare,” Pelosi said as she closed her weekly briefing Thursday.

{mosads}The Obama administration is pulling out all the stops ahead of Feb. 15, which is the final day for people to buy healthcare coverage for the year.

Nearly 8 million people have already bought insurance plans through the federal exchange since November, with another 3 million purchasing coverage from state exchanges.

“Enrollment has been extremely successful and exceeded expectations. So go to HealthCare.gov for life — healthier life, liberty and the freedom to pursue your happiness,” Pelosi said.

The sign-ups so far put the Obama administration ahead of its goal of 9 million for 2015, though the total remains below the initial target of 13 million set by the Congressional Budget Office.

President Obama also made a high-profile push for healthcare sign-ups Thursday by appearing in a viral video for BuzzFeed.
