Outrage As It’s Revealed WebMD.com Was Paid $14 Million To Promote Obamacare
When you go to your doctor, you are trusting that the advice they give you regarding medication, surgery and treatment options is the very best that it can be for you as an individual. You are placing your life in their hands when you follow their protocols. So today’s revelation that one of the world’s most-visited medical websites was paid millions in slush money to convince you to purchase government-mandated Obamacare is more than disturbing, it’s outrageous as well as immoral and unethical.
WebMD has received nearly $14 million to promote Obamacare, as part of a government initiative designed to get Americans to turn to “official information” on the health care law. The contract amount is much higher than was previously known, new documents revealed on Tuesday.
When government gains the power to control the use of private property, it becomes possible for the politically dominant to profit by high commodity prices using government regulation to constrain supply. One merely drives competitors out of business by manipulating the perception of risk to a land use preferred by a democratic majority.
