Obama to Spend $1.5 Billion Promoting ObamaCare

The promotional budget for ObamaCare alone would cover much of the actual medical expenses for the people involved. But this was never about paying for medical care, it was about taking over health care for political reasons.

New Congressional estimates show the Obama administration is requesting another $774 million for Obamacare “outreach” and advertising in the 2015 budget. This is on top of the estimated $684 million they spent this year and the $52 million they spent on high-profile ads with athletes and Hollywood celebrities. That means the combined total in taxpayer funded advertising will be over $1.5 billion.

Barack Obama said last week, “We didn’t make a hard sell. We didn’t have billions of dollars in commercials like some critics did.”

It now looks like that was a lie, too.

Rep. Jack Kingston said, “I could have told him about the $774 million he requested for advertising and outreach in his budget or the $684 million already spent and the additional $52 million spent on celebrity endorsements of Obamacare.”


Let’s see.

Any politician that votes in favor of this additional spending , on a failed law, should be shot.

There are several articles on Yahoo about the FAKE numbers NObama is promoting. Most of those who are in the NOTaffordable care act were 1. not uninsured in 2013, 2. are medicare people auto enrolled, and 3. not young healthy people who are absolutely critical to the program working. It will balloon in price in 2015 (after the mid-terms) and people will have WHEEPING AND NASHING OF TEETH as very few will be able to "afford" insurance at all. This law sucked from the beginning and is getting worse every single day!!!!!
