"Make sure you have a plan for when, where, and how you’ll talk to your family about health insurance. Here are a few tips to help you prepare. 

Pick A Time

Start early: Don’t wait until the last minute—be sure to start the conversation early! 
.
Integrate the talk into family time: Take advantage of downtime after meals or between holiday activities to start your talk. 

THINK ABOUT HOW YOU’LL BRING IT UP

Make it personal: Be honest about your feelings and why this is important to you. 
.
Be persistent, but keep it positive: Tell them you care about their health, and focus on the benefits that come from knowing that you have health insurance. 

CHOOSE A PLACE

Get creative: Think about what matters to your family member. Make it memorable! 
.
Find a Quiet Place to Shop: You can start your conversation anywhere, but to shop for health coverage, you will want a more quiet, private place to make a phone call or use the internet....

Conversation Tips

Start by asking: “Have you thought about signing up for health insurance on the new marketplace?”
 
Offer to walk them through it: “Would you like to take some time with me to sign up right now?”
 
Ask them to make a plan, and commit to it: “When do you plan on signing up?”
 
Don’t forget to follow up: “Have you signed up yet?”"...
