White House officials eager to sell the most popular aspects of the health reform law are focusing on four areas to gain votes and popularity for key lawmakers ahead of November's midterm elections.
Politico: "Top administration officials, who meet regularly with outside special interest groups to coordinate the public relations effort, have so far focused on expediting and amplifying four key areas of the new law: expanding coverage to young adults, covering sick people with pre-existing conditions or high medical costs, providing tax breaks to small businesses and helping a select group of seniors pay for prescription drugs." Politico reports that in the case of expanding coverage to young adults, the administration cut short the time period when the public is allowed to weigh in on the debate. "In another, it used taxpayer money to alert small businesses that they will get a break on this year's taxes. Both are perfectly legal but also politically beneficial." Officials, however, say there is no correlation between its push and the congressional elections.

The content of Obamacare is irrelevant! Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional since article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care! The people are not bound to comply with an unconstitutional act! This is the point people need to drive home with their Congress critters!
They have tried to sell it and then resell it over and over again. Why can’t they just stop already!!!!!
They are trying to sell it after they already passed it against the will of the people behind closed doors?
REPEAL IT FOREVER!
the fact they are still sellin’ means they are very worried...
They rammed it down people’s throats through all sorts of chicanery, and the people are not happy with it, and the more the people hear what’s in it, the less happy they are going to be. They should just shut up. They won — or they think they won. Actually, the people will vote on healthcare in November. Until then, just shut up already.
They know that the entire scheme is still very vulnerable to either legislative repeal or a negative court ruling, so they’re trying to set the hook a bit deeper. It’s all about demonizing anyone who would step up to challenge the law.
It won’t be free to those young people, and the law is going to force them to buy insurance if they don’t have it. That is not going to win them many votes.
I think there is vulnerability in the financing of it as well-provided whomever we put in charge has the good sense to refuse to fund it.
To Sell Plan, White House Officials Focus On Four Key Aspects Of Health Reform: LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES
People who learn the truth, oppose it.
