'Kicked off' is an accurate descriptor, because it seems that the 'how' involved in the administration's efforts to push Obamacare onto a nation that doesn't want it will revolve around one of the few outlets Americans retreat to in order to escape politics...well, it was anyway...Reuters: The Obama administration on Monday kicked off its public education campaign to get the uninsured to sign up for health coverage, with a new call center and a revamped website intended as the market entry point for millions of new consumers.
The campaign is expected to target 2.7 million younger consumers between the ages of 18 to 35, whose participation in new online health insurance exchanges is vital to the success of President Barack Obama's 2010 healthcare reform law.
Nothing's sacred...not even your Monday nights. Our pop culture President's forcing you to accept his pillaging of the American healthcare system with a little help from his friends. And he's banking on the 20-to-30-somethings buying it hook-line-and-sinker through the bombardment of sports entertainment.Breitbart: On Monday, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius announced that she would be working with the National Football League to have the NFL push coverage of Obamacare. This report follows in the wake of reports last week that Sebelius would be working with the National Basketball Association. Sebelius explained that the NFL is “very actively and enthusiastically engaged” in a conversation about how to popularize Obamacare. “We’re having active discussions right now with a variety of sports affiliates,” she said.
Both the NFL and the NBA are reportedly not-for-profit entities. The HHS is already under fire for soliciting private non-profits to push Obamacare.
I've got a feeling this might negatively affect ratings, though, as most are exhausted with his narcissistic mug.
