HHS Paying Google To Hype ObamaCare

If you don't like ObamaCare, how do you like the fact that your money is being used to make it look better? You know that Google sells search terms, so that those paying for the terms come out on top, right? Well, HHS paid Google with taxpayer dollars for a large collection of search terms (almost anything with the word "ObamaCare" in it), so that the first link people will see is the HHS propaganda website.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has bought a Google advertisement to steer people searching for "ObamaCare" to a page that is customized to detect searchers' locations and steer them both to local health insurance information and to a list of "what's in the law for you."

The ad buy represents a kind of recognition that the Administration has, to a degree, lost a battle over defining its terms, and that "ObamaCare" -- coined and used largely by detractors of the plan -- is in wide circulation. A search for the term on Google yields 2.5 million results.

Yet another example of the government spending our money to try and convince us we like a program that we really, REALLY don't.
