Barrasso Calls on Obama to Cancel $20 Mil Obamacare Propaganda

Statement

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) at a Republican Leadership press conference called on President Obama to cancel the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) $20 million contract with a private public relations firm to promote the health care law:

"On Friday, the Chief Actuary for Medicare and Medicaid came out with a new report that showed that the situation for Medicare is actually a lot worse than was originally thought. Going so far as to say for our seniors on Medicare under the Obama health care law it's going to be that much harder for them to get medical care and to see a doctor.

"And now we learn that the Department of Health and Human Services has signed a $20 million contract with a private public relations firm to continue to promote this flawed health care law.

"So today, I'm calling on the President to cancel this contract. The American public want real solutions to problems of health care--not more press releases and propaganda paid for with their taxpayer dollars."
