Dear Friends and Patriots,
There may be only
one game left in this year's NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the San
Antonio Spurs, but don't expect the full court press to be going away any time
soon.
Of course we're
not talking about a basketball court in this case. We're talking about the full
court press on young people to buy into ObamaCare and buy the pricey
government-approved health insurance purchase necessary to subsidize people who
are older and less healthy.
Let's just say
that, especially in this economy where many young people are emerging from
college with loads of student loan debt and few job prospects, it's
going to be a tough sell:
[Healthy adults today spend an average of $854 a year on
health care. ObamaCare would require them to buy insurance policies expected to
cost roughly $5,800. The law, then, isn't just asking them to pay for "the
services that they are going to consume," [Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito]
added. "The mandate is forcing these people to provide a huge subsidy to the
insurance companies . . . to subsidize services that will be received by
somebody else."
Interestingly
enough, this full court press on Americans to buy into ObamaCare could actually
be coming from the NBA. No, really. We're
not kidding:
Could LeBron James be the next spokesman for Obamacare?
The Obama administration has reached out to the NBA about a potential marketing
partnership to promote the health law, POLITICO has learned. ... The NBA
season’s calendar tracks closely with the six-month period during which
Americans have a chance to sign up for subsidized insurance around the country —
beginning on Oct. 1. And NBA fans fit key demographics targeted by supporters of
the health law.
Where's a referee
to call a foul when you need one?
Right now, it's
important that Americans of all ages, and especially young Americans who will be
feeling the most pressure from these efforts, continue to to hear the truth
about ObamaCare and how this government take-over of our personal and private
health care decisions will harm them.
Sharing the truth
will continue to build momentum for full and complete repeal of
ObamaCare.
Sincerely,
Carrie Lukas
