Our Health Care Message is based on the President’s Middle Class Values
Contrast: President
Obama refuses to go back to the days when health insurance companies had unchecked
power.
He’ll continue to stand up to Republicans working to take away benefits and protections that are already helping millions of Americans.
The President believes
Affordable
health insurance you can rely on is part of the middle class
bargain
Americans
who work hard and pay their premiums should have the security that comes with good health
care
Slide13Women are most persuaded when we emphasize benefits that are life-stage specific. Which benefit you?

There are four steps to having a meaningful conversation tapping into shared values and related POTUS accomplishments
Acknowledge and relate: Validate the voter’s concern. Listen to the voter and find common ground on things they care about. This is a chance to use an aspect of your personal story.Values: Bring the conversation to the value that you share with the President, and connect that value to the voter’s issues and interestPivot to Accomplishments: Shift to a POTUS accomplishment that impacts the voter and links to the values discussed aboveContrast: Draw the appropriate contrast with the Republican candidates on those values or issues– what would happen if Republicans gained office?
