Obama admin spends $1.5 million in taxpayer money on TV studio to film Obamacare propaganda



The Department of Health and Human Services is operating a TV studio whose sole purpose is to film ads and propaganda for Obamacare.
from Washington Free Beacon:

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is promoting Obamacare through its $1.5 million television studio, which is currently being upgraded for a more “cinematic look.”
The agency has five broadcast studios, known as “HHS-TV,” that are tasked with communicating with the public in times of emergency, such as a pandemic. HHS-TV is also used for public service announcements and press conferences.
However, the studio’s operations in recent months have been almost exclusively devoted to promoting Obamacare.
HHS-TV released a video of Secretary Kathleen Sebelius hyping the opening of the health insurance exchanges as “exciting news” on the first day of enrollment on Oct. 1.
“If you’re uninsured, if you thought that good health insurance would never be within your reach, help is on the way,” she said. The studio also provided b-roll for media outlets of the Obamacare Marketplace on its first day.
Another HHS-TV video on Aug. 26 said Obamacare is “great news” for young people. Sebelius attempted to convince young Americans that they should purchase health care.
“Now, some of you may feel like you’re too healthy to need health insurance, or it’s just too expensive,” Sebelius said. “I know how it is. I have two sons who are young adults. Their first priority hasn’t always been purchasing health insurance, either.”
“But we never know when we’ll get into a car accident, or we’ll need to make that unexpected trip to the E.R.,” she said. “We never know when we get a sudden diagnosis, or when we’ll really need a new prescription.”
“Medical care isn’t free; without insurance, we have to pay for all of these things out of our own pockets,” Sebelius continued. “We’re all just an accident or illness away from a devastating medical bill. So I invite you to visit us at HealthCare.gov and learn about your new options.”
At the end of the message, Sebelius asked young people to “spread the word.”
In a video on July 10, Sebelius praised the Obamacare enrollment website as “easy to use.”

I know that this story is almost too outrageous to believe, and some of our liberal readers will deny it. But you can head over to HHS.TV and see for yourself.
The Obama administration has set a new standard for government waste, and this $1.5 million propaganda studio is just the snowflake on the tip of the iceberg.
