That's the invitation in my mailbox this morning. It's accompanied by a nice video from the President soliciting our help to spread the word about where to get assistance to apply for health insurance, other than the web site, which has its problems.

By phone
We can help you complete the entire application process from beginning to end with information you provide over the phone, including reviewing your options and helping you enroll in a plan. We can also answer questions as you fill out an online or paper application. We’re available 24/7.

I haven't included links to web pages or email addresses because I'm assuming that people who want to be helped in person aren't computer literate. All of this information is available by going to the phone link on the main page.
