Obama's day: Health care, tribal conference
President Obama faces a busy Thursday, speaking with a succession of radio hosts about health care and hosting an annual conference of tribal nations.
In the afternoon, Obama will promote his health care law with radio hosts from Tampa, Atlanta, Dallas, Kansas City, and Seattle, the schedule says, emphasizing "the importance of reducing the number of people without health insurance."
The round of interviews comes during a new enrollment period, and at a time that the Obama health care law is under attack from Republican presidential candidates.
Later in the day, Obama will attend the 2015 White House Tribal Nations Conference, where he will give a speech and participate in a conversation about Native American youth.
"Each federally recognized tribe was invited to send one representative to the conference," says the White House schedule.

The seventh annual tribal nations conference "continues to build upon the President's commitment to strengthen the government-to-government relationship with Indian Country and to improve the lives of American Indians and Alaska Natives, with an emphasis on increasing opportunity for Native youth," the White House says.
