Obamacare Pitch Of The Day: Baltimore Ravens Paid $130k To Promote "Affordable Care"

In a “Sponsorship Agreement” between the Maryland Health Connection and the Ravens, Judicial Watch reports that the state (read taxpayers) will pay the Super Bowl champs $130,000 to push Obamacare on television, radio, the team’s official website, its newsletter and in social media. If Obamacare is the great thing that we are constantly reassured it to be, why are we seeing the administration feeling the need to constantly market, pitch, and sell the idea by any means possible (from keg standing college students  to Superbowl shuffles)?

Of course, they may be on to something with this one...

I think this was a poor decision on the part of the Ravens. A law should not have to be advertised. It is not good public relations to support a product or issue that 85% of the people don't want.

9:53, Don't blame the Ravens for this, read the article...Our Maryland Tax Dollars are paying the Ravens $130,000 to advertise.

I do agree that is was a poor decision by the Ravens when they are trying to build their fan base.

I agree that this decision was not a good decision. However I would venture to think the Governor has his grimmy little hands in this....
