The Obama Administration will blow $20 million on ads to promote Obamacare before the election. And you get to pay for the ads.
The contract was awarded to the same company, Porter Novelli, that produced the taxpayer-funded Andy Griffith Obamacare ads in 2010.
The Hill reported:
The Health and Human Services Department has signed a $20 million contract with a public-relations firm to highlight part of the Affordable Care Act.
The new, multimedia ad campaign is designed to educate the public about how to stay healthy and prevent illnesses, an HHS official said.
The campaign was mandated by the Affordable Care Act and must describe the importance of prevention while also explaining preventive benefits provided by the healthcare law. The law makes many preventive services available without a co-pay or deductible, and provides new preventive benefits to Medicare patients.
Then there’s this…
Doug Powers reported: Google “Porter Novelli” and “Obama” and you’ll find a few unsurprising connections to the current administration and the Dems in general. And don’t forget about campaign donations.
