President Obama’s Health and Human Services Department on Tuesday announced nearly $30 million in grants to “help consumers see the benefits” of the Democrats’ new health care law.

Those “benefits” include helping consumers file appeals and grievances against their existing health insurance plans.

HHS says the $30 million will go to state consumer assistance programs that help Americans who have questions or concerns about their health insurance.

Specifically, the grants will help consumers:

• enroll in health coverage;
• file complaints and appeals against their health plans (see examples below);
• educate consumers about their rights and empower them to take action; and
• track consumer complaints to help identify problems and strengthen enforcement.

The goal is to destroy the private insurance industry, driving everyone into Obamacare. The plan is working, Comrades!

Who do We The People sue when Big Brother denies us health care and ships our rear ends to a Hospice Center to die? Do ya think anyone considered enemies of the state will be deemed not worthy of care?
