White House and Allies Set to Build Up Health Law

By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG | Published: June 6, 2010

WASHINGTON — President Obama and his allies, concerned about deep skepticism over his landmark health care overhaul, are orchestrating an elaborate campaign to sell the public on the law, including a new tax-exempt group that will spend millions of dollars on advertising to beat back attacks on the measure and Democrats who voted for it.

Americans will see the first evidence of the public relations offensive on Tuesday, when Mr. Obama travels to Wheaton, Md., to conduct a nationally televised question-and-answer session with older citizens to trumpet one of the law’s most popular features: $250 rebate checks to help Medicare beneficiaries pay for prescription drugs.

The timing is no accident; the first batch of checks will be mailed on Thursday. But it is only an early hint of what is to come throughout the summer and fall, officials say, as other consumer-friendly provisions — a high-risk pool for hard-to-insure people, a Web site comparing coverage plans, tough new restrictions on insurers — take effect.

At each of these “milestone moments,” as the White House calls them, Mr. Obama will weigh in, dipping back into a contentious debate that consumed much of the first year of his presidency. With Republicans campaigning on a theme of “repeal and replace” and casting the law as big government — and some Democrats trying to avoid talking about it — the strategy poses some political risks.

The United States should join the rest of the civilized world by adopting socialized medicine. Our entire society is based on greed. Not at all healthy.

Greed, politicians greed you mean and backroom deals to send us all into the pooor house and off our backs.

Civilized world? Where? You mean like Greece? France? Show me civilized in more than mere words.

What country currently existing on this small planet is actually civilized?

Socialized medicine is a controlling 'overlay' for power by an elite. (i.e. It is simply another method to keep the rich richer and the poor dependant)

Obama's betting he can use 'smoke 'n mirrors' on the sheeple again ... a $250 one-time check for costs that are only gonna keep goin' up while service and healthcare goes down is a sucker bet ... but hey, that's why the casinos are in business, right ... ?

That's what he has Robert Fibbs for!

OH BOY! $250 dollars! That will go a long way!






NOT! Jesus Jumping Christ! Trying to buy voters for $250!







F U Obama!

November just cannot get here fast enough this year, and November 2012 will be like Christmas for me when I get to AGAINST this complete waste of sperm!

Actually, the government is based on greed. American society is based on mutually agreeable contracts, P/L ratios, and charity.

advertising(campaigning) in politics? ur joking?

,,,where is that mountain again?

Oddly I listen to NPR (which is Liberal as it gets, I know)

But oddly an interesting point was made about many industries adn our government. When things are run as "For Profit" operations like Health care and insurance they are going to screw us as hard as they can financially.

Germany did away with "For Profit" health care and insurance. That is how they dealt with those industries trying to screw the German people. Germany is a capitalist society but they got a handle on some of the greed there.


Food for thought!

NPR seriously needs some de-funding. The use of public dollars to support programs that would NEVER make it in the free market (say 'Air Amerika') is just one more example of why we're in the hole we're in. Their whole "If not us, who?; If not now, when?" spiel is past its prime and they need to have the plug pulled. If their programming was so effin' wonderful, why, they'd be broadcasting on PRIVATELY-OWNED airwaves and CHARGING MONEY when people wanted to buy commercial advertising time. One more example of the failed liberal model ...

but if people choose to donate in order to hear a more balanced side of the story,,,isnt that the whole IDEA of free market?

$250 is being sent to those that have reached the donuthole in Medicare. Because in previous Medicare reform when the donuthole was created, they have seen that the donuthole is a bad thing. New healthcare reform will eventually eliminate the donuthole and focus on prevention.

IF their donations were sufficient to pay for NPR staying on the air WITHOUT selling commercials, then WHY do they still need PUBLIC MONEY to keep them (just like 'Air Amerika') afloat ... ? They're a failed business model - but they're NOT 'too big to fail' ... time they did ...

what is 'public money' ...? Isnt the advertising agency part of the 'free market' as well. If an advertiser wants to reach an audience, their money has the right to choose which audience it will pay to reach.
