WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is partnering with high-profile members of the fast-growing electronic sports and video gaming community as part of the White House’s effort to drive Affordable Care Act sign-ups ahead of the enrollment deadline Sunday.
The Electronic Sports League released a video Wednesday that features various e-sports personalities, targeted at the American fans of professional video game competitions who have not yet enrolled for health care coverage through a state or federal exchange.

The share of Americans without health insurance fell below 13 percent by the end of 2014, a steep drop from the 17.1 percent who were uninsured at the end of 2013. A 2014 Gallup poll found that the change, for the most part, resulted from increased coverage through the health reform law’s health insurance exchanges and the expansion of Medicaid access.
