Obamacare....that insidious piece of socialist legislation that is well on its way to ruining the world's best health care system. We all remember "Dr." Obama telling us a little over three years ago how wonderful all this was going to be..that if you liked your doctor, you could keep him or her, that if
you liked your current coverage, you could keep it, that it wouldn't cost us one thin dime more....Well, we all know those were lies. Costs are skyrocketing, companies are cutting back employee hours to part-time so they won't have to provide insurance, and many states are refusing to set up the insurance exchanges for the uninsured to buy into, forcing the Feds to do it at an additional cost. 
Seventy percent of the country was and is against Obamacare. It got rammed down our throats. Today, even some Democrats who helped author the bill are questioning
it. As a result, President Obama has enlisted the aid of a public relations firm to try to win over skeptics.

Newsmax.com reports; The Obama administration has hired public-relations giant Weber Shandwick to help sell  persuade the uninsured to enroll in a healthcare plan, adding:

Obamacare aims to cover uninsured Americans by expanding Medicaid and by imposing an “individual mandate” requiring everyone to have insurance or pay a tax. There is obvious concern in the White House, however, that many of the nation’s 37 million uninsured Americans will pay the tax rather than buy health insurance.

“Weber Shandwick won a $3.1 million contract to assist the Department of Health and Human Services with rolling out a campaign to convince skeptical — or simply confused — Americans that the act is good for them and persuade them to enroll in a health plan,” Advertising Age reported.

The PR firm will seek to implement “rollout communication” based on “old-fashioned marketing principles,” the magazine disclosed.
The HHS agency in charge of the campaign is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

It was about a year ago, as the Affordable Health Care Act  (as it is officially known) was beginning to show it's ugly face here and there, I remember Donald Trump giving us his take on what is now known as Obamacare:
"We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced  to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it,  passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a Dumbo President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!
              'What the hell could possibly go wrong?'

Indeed!!
