Late last week, while perusing the press releases that flooded
my inbox announcing a nationwide public relations effort called
“Get Covered America,” I was reminded of a Woody Allen gag: “There
are worse things than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an
insurance salesman?” With gleeful subject lines like, “New Video
Introduces ‘Get Covered America’ Campaign,” the emails suggest that many Americans
are about to experience the grim fate that Allen described. They
will be relentlessly hectored until they contact an Obamacare
exchange to learn about insurance — and other opportunities.
Get Covered America is the long-anticipated propaganda campaign launched by Enroll America, a “nonpartisan” organization whose ostensible mission is to help the uninsured navigate the exchanges. In reality, Enroll America is an Obama administration front group funded with money extorted from the insurance industry. The story is by now familiar. Congress declined to fund an advertising campaign for Obamacare, so HHS Commissar Sebelius initiated “stakeholder conversations about the… health care law.” In other words, she contacted the insurers she regulates and suggested that the exchanges would be pay-to-play operations.
