“The Department of Health and Human Services has just handed out a $3.1 million PR contract to “roll out a campaign to convince skeptical — or simply confused — Americans the Affordable Care Act is good for them and convince them to enroll in a health plan.”
If it were a good policy, this wouldn’t really need to be set in place. Strange when the government has to “convince” its citizens to buy into to something. Doesn’t sound self-interested at all. This is concerning.
“aides and lawmakers in both parties fear that staffers — especially low-paid junior aides — could be hit with thousands of dollars in new health care costs, prompting them to seek jobs elsewhere. Older, more senior staffers could also retire or jump to the private sector rather than face a big financial penalty.”
Oooohhhhhhh, sweet comeuppance. A guy can dream, right?
“Congress in secret talks to exempt itself from ObamaCare.”
Well, isn’t this pleasant. If it were a good model, then they’d be the first to line up, but it looks to be the other way around.

Of course they’re trying to exempt themselves from Obamacare.
They’re concerned about a “brain-drain” on capital hill. Lol
11 Billion in improper refunds. I wonder to which tax bracket.
Shame. Only the US government could seemingly lose $11 billion of money that isn’t theirs.
Washington ALWAYS seems to be exempt from the processes and regulations they impose on others.
3.1 trillion in PR, I would assume that is not that different from the amount hospital lobbyist spend at the capital.
@ washington airport spared
I am not surprised, given the major government expansion, there is going to be a lot of traffic going through the air port.
@ Media Trivalizing Medicare Part D
I am not surprised, if you complicated the process, less people are willing to learn about it, thus, bring down the viewership of their programs!
Congress + Secret meeting = no decision
Congress + transparent = no decision
Errr, are you saying I shouldn’t have cashed that $9.5 billion check I received from IRS?
