Country music stars Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley seized the spotlight at last night’s Country Music Awards to slam the rocky rollout of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
The president’s signature piece of domestic legislation, commonly referred to as “Obamacare,” has become a popular punching bag for comics and critics of the White House.
In a scripted set piece (which starts at the 3:40 mark), Underwood asked Paisley, “Hey do you have that Obamacare?”
“Oh, its great. I started signing up last Thursday and I’m almost done,” he replied.
The two performers then pretended to actually sign up for health care, ridiculing the website woes of HealthCare.gov, and they sing a song called “Obamacare By Morning” asking “why is taking so long?” and joking “only 6 people served.”
