SABOTAGE: Trump Halts $5 Million In Pre-Paid Obamacare Ads During Crucial Enrollment Period

[Lakhota]

The Trump administration has pulled the plug on all Obamacare outreach and advertising in the crucial final days of the 2017 enrollment season, according to sources at Health and Human Services and on Capitol Hill.

Even ads that had already been placed and paid for have been pulled, the sources told POLITICO.

The decision sends the clearest signal yet that President Donald Trump is determined to fulfill his campaign pledge to repeal Obamacare. Hours after being sworn in, Trump issued his first executive order allowing federal officials to start unwinding parts of the law.

"President Trump is signaling he's the new sheriff," said Rep. Chris Collins, (R-N.Y.), the president's top congressional ally. "He's been elected with a mandate. He's not going to tolerate his employees contradicting and undermining his mandate to get this country going in another direction."

Individuals may still sign up for Obamacare plans until the Jan. 31 deadline — but the Trump administration isn't advertising that fact any longer.

Not according to Republicans. Let them die. That's how the GOP runs.

Why did they have to advertise for something that was MANDATED?

 

[my2¢]

It's one of those many things in recent years that the government doesn't want you to know.

 

[HenryBHough]

$5 million that could have been spent on health care was, instead, to be spent on propaganda and you lefties are butthurt? What, do you all own advertising agencies?

 

[TheOldSchool]

Makes sense. The more people are enrolled, the more people will lose their healthcare when the GOP gives them the middle finger. And that would make Trump look bad. Though with his spin machine he could probably convince his rubes that the number of people who lost their healthcare is actually the number of new people gaining health care thanks to him.

It ends in 5 days twit.

 

[WillowTree]

Yay!

Excellent!

 

[Doc1]

He isn't going to end the ACA, smart money says it will become Medicare for all.

 

[Missourian]

Why squander money to advertise something that is going to be repealed? That would be wasteful.

It was mandated you 'tard. Why PAY for something that they have to do? You really aren't capable of an original thought are you..

Sabotage is actually an underrated movie

Who says it's going to be repealed? Maybe those who sign up before January 31 will be grandfathered into the NaziCon replacement...

So they go get important healthcare coverage, instead of paying a penalty and getting nothing at all. Duh.

Paying the penalty is still cheaper than the coverage if you're young enough...DUH!

 

[whitehall]

I didn't even know the federal government spends that kind of money on ads for the ironically named (affordable care act).Can we save even more taxpayer money by completely eliminating the connection between the federal government and the ad agencies?

President Trump...you know, the guy who cancelled the advertising.

They needed the 5 million to pay for the luxury republican retreat they are having right now..

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Why advertise something that will no longer be in existence?
