“It’s important to make sure you also have great health care because you never know when you’re going to take a hit,” the Miami Heat star told reporters on a conference call. “You will probably need treatment of some kind.”

Mr. Battier is the latest in a long line of sports stars and pop culture figures used by this White House to sell its signature health-care reform law. Obamacare’s enrollment period ends March 31 and any American who misses the cut-off must wait until November before being able to sign up.
