"The Departments of Health and Human Services and Education are now acting as outlets for the Obama re-election campaign. In a press announcement released yesterday, HHS stated that HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan “are reaching out to campus leaders to remind graduating high school, college and university seniors about their new health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act – the health care law.”

"This is obvious propagandizing; under the old health care law, most insurance programs allowed dependent care coverage for people under the age of 21. So why would Sebelius and company be reaching out to high schoolers? The answer: those high schoolers are turning 18, and can therefore vote."


Obama Admin Tells High Schools to Push Obamacare


One more example of how this administration is using our tax dollars to push their agenda and get Obama re-elected. Disgusting.

Yeah, the utter nerve of the administration, actually wanting people to know what benefits are available.

Are you actually saying that you prefer an uneducated, i.e. ignorant populace?

Gee, Previously, did they go out of their way like this to make sure all the schools notified their students of their right to stay on their parents' policies after graduation?

This is politics pure and simple.

No. Then I would be a supporter of our public school system, which I am not.

If they didn't, they sure should have.

People complain all the time about how ignorant our young people are with regard to finances and the like.
Now that someone thinks that it is a good idea to provide them with usable information so that they can make informed choices, that's bad too.

Oh, well.
Another day, another manufactured outrage.

Indeed. Like this?
