Fox News ^ | Sept 1, 2013 | FoxNews

States running their own insurance programs as part of the Affordable Care Act have marketing and enrollment strategies that are sidestepping references to the words “ObamaCare,” a term that has largely come to be associated with the unpopularity of the plan.

In Minnesota, state employees are promoting their health insurance marketplace as MNsure -- even going to the annual state fair to hand out fans imprinted with pictures of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The grassroots effort is part of a larger, $9 million marketing effort that includes billboards and TV ads.

Because racist Creepy-assed Crackers hate Obama so much that they’d give up awesome health care just because his name is on it. That’s how stupid white people are. Fortunately, they’re so stupid that you can change the name to BrawndoCare and they all go down and sign up. “BrawndoCare, its what bodies crave!”

“If it’s so great, why do they have to trick people into signing up?”

Because they know the vast majority of low income voters with no or limited health insurance are going to get a big cost reduction or free health insurance.

Once the folks get that federal benefit they will never give it up and they will only vote for politicians who pledge to keep the program...the name of the game is enrollment.

MNure? I know how to pronounce that. Looks like they have a typo and added an ‘S’.

Well stated. I was going to say that they could make it look like a big twinkie, but it’ll still taste like crap
