This fall, most states are expected to announce increases in 2015 health insurance premiums, and Democrats, aware of their vulnerabilities on Obamacare, are embarking on a damage control campaign to limit any potential fallout at the polls in November.
According to Politico, the White House's internal healthcare operation is gearing up to pre-empt GOP attacks on the issue, using a rapid response operation and a coordinated effort with the Democratic congressional leadership to provide localized analysis, data, and talking points to each state's delegation.
"One of the lessons we've learned in implementing healthcare is to stay on it," Tara McGuinness, the White House senior communications adviser who has been spearheading the effort for the West Wing, told Politico. "We are not going to let anyone distort the debate."
Roughly six aides are dedicated to the effort with the help of staff at the Department of Health and Human Services.

You added10,000+ government administrative employees to an already working system, and your effort is to make up stories that will "ease" the cost increases when your new administration still does not work!
Brilliant.
I'd like to sell you my construction company for $40m. It's been up and running since late 2008!
