America's Healthcare Site
Web & Oxygen TV channel ^ | Sept 10, 2010

Posted on 09/10/2010 11:13:54 PM PDT by the_Watchman

TV commercial for this site is promoting the new Healthcare Law:

How the Healthcare Law Helps You Some of the Key Benefits of the Affordable Care Act are:

* You can no longer be denied coverage because you have a pre-existing condition, or because you get sick.

* A crackdown on fraud and administrative waste will save money and lead to lower premiums for patients.

* Small businesses will receive tax credits and other tools to help provide affordable healthcare to their employees.

* If you like the coverage you have now, you can keep it. No government agency or bureaucrat can force you to change something that works.


TOPICS: Government; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: electionfinance; healthcare
The television commercial is paid for by somebody. The web site is paid for by somebody. This looks like an attempt by the Democrats to promote the healthcare law in order to give cover for the Democrats in time for the upcoming elections.

If money for "healthcare.org" comes from the Federal government, then there could be election finance laws being skirted or even broken.

We need to find out who is behind this site!

What is the problem with the Democrats paying for a website named healthcare.org?

I want to know why every time I Google political question I get an advertisement for Barak Hussein Obama and a website that ends in.gov?

Isn’t this the federal government promoting a living politician? Who is paying for this crap? Why is it on every single Google screen that I get? Big-name schools after this guy — is that legal? They used to be rules about promoting living politicians — did they forget them all or just choose to ignore them all?

Giant ads I tell you giant ads.

“A crackdown on fraud and administrative waste”

The people with the biggest waste and fraud is Congress and Zero. Sure there is always someone out there using loop holes to illegal secure funds, but when the president and his regime spend 12 billion dollars of money we don't have, that's a problem.

Former WH Communication Director Anita (Mao is my favorite) Dunn is supposed to be behind a media campaign to gloss over ObamaCare and dispell all of those nasty “myths”.

This calls for a campaign of full disclosure and unmasking the money behind this mouthpiece.

About Us

AmericasFairHealthCare.org is a project of the Health Information Center (HIC), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and the Health Information Campaign, a 501(c)4 organization, founded in 2010.

Our mission is to inform the public, the press, nonprofit organizations, industry groups, corporations and elected officials about the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama earlier this year. We believe that educating consumers and engaging in the public dialogue to generate support for this law will help legislators, policy makers, regulators and health providers as they go about their important work.

Along with a coalition of partners, we work to explain to the public the benefits of the new law, how it affects consumers and when key regulations take effect. We also work to respond to misinformation and misperceptions about the law, educate leaders and stakeholders about the full extent of the benefits and provide a mechanism for policy makers and others to come together to share information and best practices that will help the implementation process.

Health Information Campaign staff:

Andrew Grossman, President

James Chiong, Executive Director

Erikka Knuti, Communications Director

Ankit Desai, Finance Director

Apparently Erikka Knuti has or does serve as a “spokesperson” for Media Matters.

From the Media Matters web site:

“Media conservatives have made a sport of vilifying ACORN and immigrants. In lieu of engaging in substantive policy debates, they simply point fingers at the poor and disenfranchised. It is both dishonest and irresponsible,” said Media Matters spokesperson Erikka Knuti.

How ObamaCare Guts Medicare
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703649004575437311393854940.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEFTTopOpinion

We are no longer talking the $523 Billion, but TRILLIONS of $$ in Medicare cuts! There won’t be a doctor in the US to touch our seniors. Our primary care doc already is down to 1 day a week, come Jan he will NO longer see Medicare patients. He is a good caring doctor, but he has staff and his family to support and can no longer take the losses of under reimbursement from Medicare/Medicaid.

Here’s more to the Anita Dunn link from the pages of the NY Times. Confirms the determined propaganda objective

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/anita-dunn/

This is only the first step. Next is to create a Strong Muscled advocacy site to protect the Obamacare Law..
