Covered California's 'Richard Simmons twerk-a-thon' tries to reach uninsured millenials

Would you believe that YouTube comments are disabled on Covered California’s six-hour #GetCovered telethon? Would you believe Covered California held a six-hour telethon? A lot of us missed the live-streamed event yesterday, but Greta Van Susteren showed the highlights Friday night, which included exercise guru Richard Simmons and a contortionist apparently working without a script or direction of any kind.

I am here at @YouTube doing a special to get everyone to get health insurance. @CoveredCA pic.twitter.com/uVhMvPQB5w

#CoveredCalifornia I'm much older than the millennials, and there was nothing about a twerking aged exercise guru that made me want OCare.

The young people I know in this age group many think these ads/infomercial are complete jokes & waste of money. #Greta

@iowahawkblog After 3 hours of Richard Simmons, you'll be hoping for a death panel.
