Why is HHS secretary Sebelius asking for charitable donations for obamacare from?

health industry officials? I thought obamacare was supposed to lower costs for everyone. I'm sure these officials worry what would happen to their organization if they refuse to donate.

What other ways could the govt try to raise money for obamacare? Maybe a lottery for a big screen TV or a car?

The Affordable care Act hinges on whether a large number of healthy people buy healthcare insurance, in that if that does not take place and mostly sicker people buy health insurance healthcare insurance, payments to providers will rise, and that will result in justifiable insurance premium increases.

Therefor, we will need healthcare exchanges, good publicity on healthcare exchanges and how to purchase the least expensive insurance that is allowable under the law. In order to publicize the law and the healthcare exchanges and to help get them up and running, she is requesting donations.

She was asking for corporate donations to advertise the upcoming insurance exchanges, since so many people remain unaware and ignorant about this whole health care reform process.

What she is doing is against federal law. She is basically doing what the IRS did in that she will ask for donations as a form of intimidation. You don't pay then you don't get to play.

It is a culture of corruption in the Obama administration. It starts at the top and trickles down.

The Federal Government "asking" you to do something is like a Mob Boss "asking" for money.

Be a shame if something should happen to that business of yours....
