Another Reason They Should Have Read the Bill: The $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget

Obviously no one read Section 4002 in the Affordable Care Act, because if they had they would have seen that this little section created a fund to promote Obamacare.Here are the staggering numbers allocated to promote this monstrosity.In 2010 it is $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion!

“The Prevention and Public Health Fund will provide for expanded and sustained national investment in prevention and public health programs to improve health and help restrain the rate of growth in private and public sector health care costs”.If you read between the lines they are saying that this fund will be used to sell the idea of Obamacare in any way that they see fit.

The media blitz started when funds were given to media companies like NBC, The Washington Post, Reuters, and CBS along with journalist symposiums.Propaganda is currently being woven into the storylines of television shows like Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy along with other popular shows.Commercial ads are being taken out as well to tout the fabulous law that is ObamaCare! There is even word around town that TV executives are toying with creating a reality show around a family who has no health care!

So now we have come to a point where sponsors of television shows don’t just sell us cars or soap, now they are selling a political agenda funded by taxpayers. Of course Hollywood will be onboard!

Non-profit organizations are getting into the act as well.If they are committed to promoting Obamacare, they get a piece of the pie.When any of these organizations feel that they can put their hand in the cookie jar, they will.

To increase public support for the program, $8 million has gone for a public relations contract.This is to convince people who are skeptical or confused that ObamaCare is the Holy Grail of health care and they need to enroll right away.They are also planning massive advertising campaigns in other languages, putting propaganda on coffee cup sleeves at colleges and buying ads at professional soccer games to target Hispanic men.

It isn’t enough that taxpayers are strapped financially with the burdens already on them, now more tax dollars are being spread around to promote something that Americans overwhelmingly do not want!

With the disastrous website roll-out, Americans have seen their hard earned tax dollars flushed down the toilet.Three years and billions of dollars later, we basically have to scrap the whole thing and start over thus costing us billions more.

It doesn’t surprise me that this administration is using public relations propaganda to promote a partisan agenda with taxpayer money, and it also doesn’t surprise me that this little hidden section was buried in a bill that no one read or wanted.We live in a world where every day the government is lying to, stealing from, and screwing over the American taxpayer.

Perhaps the American people will see through this publicity sham and realize that no matter how you package it, ObamaCare is this years--- New Coke.

For anyone actually interested in what Section 4002 states, it reads as follows:

SEC. 4002. PREVENTION AND PUBLIC HEALTH FUND.

SURPRISE: The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation). In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion........

In Obamacare, Democrats voted to nationalize 1/6 of the US economy ---- a renewable slush fund for consolidating Dem power. Once in the hands of the criminal hordes, all that money is untraceable.

===================================================

SELECTED DEMOCRAT QUOTES:
FROM THE UNEXPURGATED PAGES OF THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD:

<><> Nancy Pelosi (Dimwit-Calif) famously egged-on Congress to pass Obamacare "so we could see what’s in it.”

<><> Sen Mary Landrieu (Dimwit-LA) in the well of the Senate speaking to voters: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." Landrieu's O/care vote is popularly called the "Louisiana Purchase." Her (ahem) state got $4.3 billion when she voted aye. Where is the money, Mary?

<><> Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Dimwit-Calif): “I listened to the president and I believed him when he said,' if you liked your plan, you can keep your plan.' I didn’t realize there were all these codicils attached to it."

<><> Pres Barack Obama (Dimwit-Ill): "we fumbled" the healthcare roll out." (Nominated for Understatement of The Century).

================================================

All those loyal Dimocrats applauding the bill signing, who "stood tall" for Obamacare and sold their aye votes, also voted for this atrocity which Obama wrote into the healthcare bill:

DIMCRATS VOTED EN MASSSE FOR THIS

IPAB is an Obama-created fifth branch of govt. government agency (as the con artist turned EPA, the IRS, the FCC, HSS, etc. into the fourth branches of govt).

IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board) is the first agency of the “fifth branch” of govt.....composed of hand- picked unelected members appointed by Obama:

1) It will make all important health care decisions by authorizing payment or not.
2) It is not funded by Congress and cannot have its budget reviewed or changed.
3) Its membership cannot be changed by future Presidents,
4) It cannot be repealed by Congress, except for a six month window in 2017.
5) Its decisions are not subject to judicial review.
6) It is not authorized by the Constitution, and is therefore immune to Constitutional processes.

==============================================

Obamacare con artists eliminated the ASSET TEST, (which would have prevented those with assets to even be considered for Medicaid coverage). Every person herded onto Medicaid signed away their entire estate to the govt. Heirs get nothing---everything goes to the state to re-coup the expenses incurred under Medicaid. The Obama criminals duped people into a reverse mortgage scheme......

Here's how it works.

The Obama con artists herded seniors WITH ASSETS onto Medicaid---a program specifically structured for the poor.

Herding sickly elderly with assets into Medicaid has ominous consequences intriguing to sap-happy leftists. B/c assets, perhaps a home owned free and clear, securities, annuities, investment property, can be seized to pay for govt treatment.

Thus intergenerational transfers of wealth (a longtime liberal/progressive bugaboo)----are decimated. Can you say redistribution of wealth?

=================================================

Boobamba's got plans.....secret, nefarious plans for grampa/ma duped into signing up for Medicare/Aid. The BOOB can't get 'em to sign up on the flopola healthcare.guv website---so he's throwing some 400,000 onto MEDICAID------and all the costs of medical care will be charged back.

How can he do that? By slapping federal and state LIENS against signers' homes, and other assets.......the Obamacare con artists eliminated the ASSET TEST, (which would have prevented those with assets to even be considered for Medicaid coverage).

So those who now think, "Golly gee, my government loves me, Obama says I qualify for subsidized Medicaid care, I'll be well- taken care of"---have been suckered into a REVERSE ASSET LIQUIDATION FEDERAL MONEY GRAB.

And, once in the hands of the Obama criminal hordes, all that money is untraceable.
