Eat your veggies, brush your teeth… sign up for crappy overpriced health care.

As if young people don’t get enough life advice — aka nagging — from their parents, Vice President Joe Biden told moms on Tuesday to call up their kids and convince them to sign up for Obamacare.
The Vice President sat down with the ladies of ABC’s The View on Tuesday morning, and unlike Late Night host Seth Meyers the night before, Barbara Walters immediately stuck Biden with a hard topic: Obamacare. The journalist point-blank asked if the law was a job killer, as the Congressional Budget Office report seemed to suggest. Biden refuted the claim and presented the staid White House talking point that it would allow for job flexibility.
Co-host Sherri Shepherd then lobbed a softball question — if you can call it that — at the Vice President.
“I know you have a key message that you want to get out to a key group of people for Obamacare, which is moms and young adults,” Shepherd said. “So is there something you want to say to them?”
“Thanks for the prompt,” Biden joked, before getting serious. “The truth is that no matter how old we get, we still listen to our moms. I know that sounds corny, but it’s true.”
