"None of this is for us or our families or any Moslem. SUCKERS."

Donald Berwick -- the Obama Administration's recess-appointed head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) -- and his staff aren't wasting a lot of time getting settled into their offices. Already, Berwick, according to career employees at CMS, has begun looking at what resources are at his disposal to launch a wide-scale media and public relations offensive in support of Obamacare and his views on government-funded health care. CMS is the agency charged with administering Medicare and working with state governments to administer Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The agency also has a role in setting and overseeing quality standards in nursing homes.
Berwick is also said to have asked his senior staff to look for ways to utilize some of the foundations and entities he has had relationships with while working at Harvard and his own think tank, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), and those organizations read like a who's who from the George Soros Dustbin of Leftist Agitators.
Tops of among them is the Open Society Institute (OSI), itself a Soros-funded organization
...
According to CMS sources, Berwick's team has been talking to those four agencies, as well as one other global communications firm with strong ties to the Obama Administration -- believed to be the Brunswick Group -- about PR projects they could undertake under new contracts put in place after the 2011 expiration of the current multi-hundred million budget. "We're going to need strong PR as more and more of the health care reform plan comes on line and citizens have more questions about the role CMS may play in their lives," says a CMS career staffer. "I wouldn't be surprised if we're looking at PR budgets upwards of $500 million, if not more."

Meanwhile, if Medicare providers enclose information about Obamacare in their correspondence with seniors, they are threatened by the government.
Mexicans are good about this. Spend 30 million dollars to built a road, and then 40 million dollars to put up signs every mile saying it was paid for by the governement they had recently elected.
Hundreds of thousands out of work, many don’t know where their next meal is coming from, and the government wants to spend half a billion dollars on a propaganda program in support of legislation that’s alread been signed into law? This is completely through the looking glass.
I remember learing about propaganda when we were studying communism and socialism in school.
It’s also illegal for the government to steal the taxpayer money; put it into private slush funds where they use it for their own purposes.
They should be in jail for a long, long time.
Nothing is illegal when you own the sheriff.
That's the first thing that came to my mind. The most corrupt organization in America today is the federal government.
Eat weeds. This isn't about the American people. It's all about power and privilege for the few in Washington.
(Now get off the computer and get back to work, you slacker. Oboma needs more money.)
This isn't about supporting the legislation. This is about desparately spinning the facts that have come out about 0-care in an effort to save their seats.
It might be packaged as "educating the public", but in reality it is funding the re-election campaigns of democrat incumbents.
Congress has the power to cut off their funding. Let’s see if conservatives fight back.
"None of this is for us or our families or any Moslem. SUCKERS."
We’re screwed.
This is just a stall tactic to settle down the public. Once this kicks in for the duration, it will break the private insurance industry and we will quickly have their coveted “Single Payer” system. Even they have admitted that this is their main plan and goal.
But they have to get past the critical incubation period which ends this November. Once the Democrats get reelected, they will start anchoring the foundation of this plan and it will become as permanent as Social Security. (Sad but true.) We absolutely MUST win this November.
There is no other way to stop it, outside of a total revolution. And most of us know the reality of what has become of American patriotism, valor and principled integrity. It’s just not there anymore in the makeup of the average American.
Not if the impoverished public finds out they're spending 500 mill on Oboma commercials.
BTW, the UK is opening up it’s health care industry to the private sector. Government run health care didn’t work.
The “Problem “ with the DeathCare Plan..ain’t on of the right PR...its an evident shortage of tall trees and short rope in DC...
How many poor, down-trodden people could have been insured with this $500 million? What a waste of taxpayer’s money. This story should be front and center.
It sure looks to me like money laundering. Doesn’t Soros contribute heavily to Demcampaigns? Why not use taxpayer money instead?
I am against the whole healthcare bill but just from a practical point how many uninsured could have been covered for that $500,000 of wasteful propaganda?
"The purpose of this lawsuit is to reverse Supreme Court precedent related to the Commerce clause and thereby overturn Obamacare. The Supreme Court has historically erred in its interpretation of the Constitutional role of the Federal Government. Recent Supreme Court rulings hint that they may be willing to take another look at Commerce clause precedent. Obamacare is so over reaching and so onerous, that it must either be repealed in Congress or struck down in the courts. We must fight this on both fronts. This is our historic opportunity to reverse America’s trend toward Socialism by overturning this unconstitutional precedent.
