The Obama administration wants you to bring a side of healthcare politics to your family picnic this weekend.
After ObamaCare’s big win at the Supreme Court last week, federal health officials are serving up some tips about talking to family members who may be less-than-enthused that ObamaCare is here to stay.
“You should be prepared when Aunt Janine says something like, ‘Obamacare hasn’t helped anyone!’” a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services wrote in a blog post on Thursday.
For instance, if your Uncle Ted starts calling Obamacare a train wreck, you should calmly explain that he’s “gotten ahold of some old talking points," the spokesman recommends.
Then, he suggests that you recite a three-paragraph response citing 14 figures ranging from healthcare inflation to the growth in full-time versus part-time employment.
“With greater access to affordable, quality health insurance, the Affordable Care Act is helping individuals and strengthening our economy!” the sample script goes.
“Now would you like more corn?”
And what to do if your brother talks about how much he wants to start his own business but is afraid to lose his employer coverage?
Sample reply: “The Affordable Care Act can help!”
The blog then specifically notes that the exclamation point is a sign of enthusiasm about ObamaCare but is “not an instruction to scream at your family.”
The White House is dishing out talking points on ObamaCare less than one week after a Supreme Court decision affirmed the healthcare law for the second time in three years. Since then, the administration's campaign to promote ObamaCare has shifted into overdrive.
“I’m feeling pretty good about how healthcare’s going,” Obama told a group in Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday, taking a victory lap on his landmark healthcare legislation.
Nobody wants to even think about that piece of crap, let alone talk about it. But enough about obama. Same goes for obamacare.
You WILL believe its wonderful!!!
Isn’t this a repeat from Thanksgiving? It sure sounds familiar.
Uh, no Mr. Obama, but we did talk about the fact we’d like to see led out of the WH in handcuffs.
Does that count?
It’s the “Law of the Land” now. So why does this matter?
Yeah, I told them that Traitor Roberts did a reprise of Humpty Dumbty.
Yea I had to check the date. I knew it sounded familiar.
I guess they need volunteer propagandists in addition to the official ones we support with our tax dollars.
And that doesn’t include all the ones in the MSM.
Pajama boy is back with tight shorts and lemonade.
I will. I will tell them how obamacare made our private health insurance go up to $2500 a month so we couldn’t afford it. Even with brain surgery we would have come out ahead last year paying cash. So we went to a conservative patriotic Health Share company and can see any doctor we want for 1/3 the cost.
Liberty Health Share. If you believe in conservative principles check it out.
We’ve discussed it. Not in the favorable way they’d like to fantasize about though. I’m quite sure we would not be on a TV commercial promoting it.
Obama still trying to stop you from celebrating and having fun this weekend
And a gay flag. Not Old Glory.
Yes, about what a collosal failure of a sh1tpile it is. All the time.
Are they going to bring pajama boy back?
Is Pajama Boy wearing his summer pajamas now?
I checked the original page:
Nice picture: look at that grill full of about 3 Chicken wings and 4 hotdogs.
I guess that’s all the guy could afford after paying his deductible.
