CHICAGO (AP) It will make you stronger. It will give you peace of mind and make you feel like a winner. Health insurance is what the whole country has been talking about, so dont be left out.
Sound like a sales pitch? Get ready for a lot more. As President Barack Obamas health care law moves from theory to reality in the coming months, its success may hinge on whether the best minds in advertising can reach one of the hardest-to-find parts of the population: people without health coverage.
The campaign wont come cheap: The total amount to be spent nationally on publicity, marketing and advertising will be at least $684 million, according to data compiled The Associated Press from federal and state sources.
About 16 percent of Americans are uninsured, but despite years of political debate and media attention, more than three-quarters of them still know little about the law known as Obamacare, according to recent surveys.

What this ad campaign will not say is that you can keep your doctor, it won’t cost you a dime more, and there are no death panels.
And he will be...in 1200 days unless impeached. So, he doesn’t give a flying fig how much of the taxpayer $$$$$$$ he spends. He’s going to partay it up in style for the remainder of his days....along with all his cronies.
Who is going to stop him??
Where, exactly, is this money coming from? What account? Under whose authority? From what appropriation?
Isn't this a hill that the GOP House should be able to defend...and win?
But will the wimps they even try?
Who said Congress has funded it?
I can't find any evidence that it has.
Granted, $684 million is only pin money for the federal government and Obama may have found it in the White House sofa cushions...
They're not wimps - they're collaborators.
“Dont fund it, Boehner”
He already has and the Madison Avenue advertising agency will reward him with a nice steak dinner at the Capitol Grille and a fabulous bottle of French wine. No doubt followed with a Cuban cigar.
Where are these funds coming from?
How many knee/hip replacements is that? Or heart valve repairs!
This is what I don’t understand. Who gets to decide how this money is spent? Is Obama really a king now? No matter how much he spends, how many vacations he takes, how often he plays golf, how many countries he decides to bomb or send advisors to, no matter how many czars he appoints, and no matter how many agencies he sets up, nothing stops him from doing anything he wants. How does that happen?
Much of the money will go to ACORN-type groups
I know, but why does Obama get to spend without any oversight? This is madness.
well, the GOPe don’t care. Heck with amnesty the GOPe wants to hand hundreds of millions to leftwing groups too
